I created a thread with postbit articles. After, I edit the first post and choose postbit, the result view look normal but the first post is always on top of all pages.

Is this possible to make it back to its original?

Thanks,

If someone else hasn't mentioned this, there's a bug in the hook at postbit_display_complete which breaks the 'view post' functionality for postbit_ignore. See below for my fix.

PHP Code:

// get ignored users
$ignore = array();
if (trim($vbulletin->userinfo['ignorelist']))
{
    $ignorelist = preg_split('/( )+/', trim($vbulletin->userinfo['ignorelist']), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
    foreach ($ignorelist AS $ignoreuserid)
    {
        $ignore["$ignoreuserid"] = 1;
    }
}

$myignore = $post['userid'];


// Bug fix by Adam
// This conditional breaks the 'view post' link in postbit_ignore; just add AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1 to the conditionals below instead

/*
if ($ignore["$myignore"] == 1)
{
$this->templatename = 'postbit_ignore';
}
else
{
*/
if ($this->forum['ada_forum'] == 1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'] AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1)
{
$this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_articles';
}
else
{
if ($this->forum['ada_forum'] == 1 AND !$post['isdeleted'] AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1)
{
switch ($this->forum['ada_style'])
{
case 0: $this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_comment'; break;
case 1: $this->templatename = 'postbit'; break;
case 2: $this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy'; break;
case 3: $this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_flipped'; break;
}
}
}
/* } 
*/

Would this cause duplicate content issue in terms of SEO? As all the pages on a thread start with the same content.
