Prevent Doubleposting

When a User posts into a thread where he already has the lastpost, no new post will be added. The lastpost of him will be edited and the new text is put after his first message.
This will be done until the old post is older than 24 hours (you can change this timespan yourself)

Nothing more to say about that, it's the quite same as my vb3.0 version.

This Mod should run with 3.6 as well


** Please make sure you ENABLE this product after you install it - it is disabled by default. **

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

Nice to see you still follow this thread It's much appreciated.

Can I ask you where you did the dirty part for the AJAX?

Does this mean that instead of the screen pausing saying it will merge the post, and then does so upon refresh, it just merges at that point?

Where do I insert that code? In the same place I did the first edit?

[Paul M]

Yes, it merges the post instantly (like here at vb.org).

It involves changes to the actual plugin code and also vbulletin_quick_reply.js

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on this....lol....I was about say the same thing....lol...

I've seen something similar to this working pretty good on vB.org and I always feel like I really need something like it on my board. But after reading tons of pages I just can't figure out how.

As Xenon seems to be out of this for a long time why not take over it for improvements ?
