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

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

Andreas what's your attached file for? A fix to the AJAX issue or what?

Yeah, I had exactly the same thing with the file edit version, which is why I added the re-direct. Two versions of the same post is not good.

Hmm, Pity - post editing does it, so I guess it's possible - maybe something could be added to 3.5.2 to allow the replacement of existing posts.

In the meantime I'm going to keep this to one side, for reference, and stick with my current version. Thanks.

Sure it is possible, as vB_Quick_Edit uses another handler.

But as said, it would require file edits, and I don't want to make file edits.

Sure, hence my suggestion for something in 3.5.2

Andreas, great experimental. One sugestion, would it be possible to add another link saying something like "Merge this post with your last post." and when the user clicks it, it merges the message with the post above (his ofcourse)?

Andreas- your experimental plugin for me does not add the merged post on another line, but instead adds it on the same line as the previous post. See here

Add a newline escape-code (\n) to the spacer

I'm a terrible n00b to this whole system, where would I add the code and what exactly do I add?

An excellent idea, anyway, love to have it ^^
