This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you. I do have one question:

Does this limit threads within a 24-hour day or calendar day?

EDIT: After installing I realized this won't quite do what I need. Perhaps a small modification can do this?

I wish to limit all new threads in all forums to one per day with the exception of my Help & Support forum. Is there a simple way to limit posts in all specified forums to X number per day? Currently members can still post one thread in each forum.

Thank you.

If i understand you correct you want only 1 thread/24 hours in any forum except your support forum?

DougM · #34 05-26-2005, 11:40 AM

Yep, that's right Marco.

The site I'm building allows members to advertise services, hence the limit of one per day in all forums except the support forum. I don't think they'll ask for help if it means using up their one post per day.

Thanks

thank u for this great hack,

I have a Q before install ot, I want to limit new threads in all my forums to 3 threads on a day, (f2 --> 3 new threads, f5 --> 3 new threads, ....)

but I want in 3 or 4 forums the limitation number to be 1, is this hack can deal with this? because when I saw a picture in this thread I thought this hack can appliying only one limitation number.

thank u

No you can not set a different limit for each forum

SilverBoy · #37 07-01-2005, 05:17 PM

so, can u modified it?

Marco van Herwaarden · #38 07-01-2005, 08:14 PM

That would be a major modification to this hack. It would involve setting a limit per forum/usergroup i guess.

I could make it for a small fee.
