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, attachments will be added to the old post as well.
This will be done until the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself)
by changing $do_bump in the script, you can define wether the post's time will be altered or not.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install

Notice: If you have installed the Proxy ip to real ip conversion or Proxy Detector v3.1 Hack, then you should probably take a look at this post.

Well that did it!

Thank you Xenon and MarcoH64 for your hack and excellent support!
I managed to get this thing tuned just the way I hoped and now it looks and performs
perfectly.

:thumbsup:

Good work and keep up the quality releases. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
and only remind me why I paid for vBulletin over the competition.

we're glad you like it

And WE are glad you liked it too

Thanks guys! This is definitely one of those rare hacks that is so useful that it should be a function that comes out-of-the-box with vBulletin.

I found a bug!

If you have a smilie limit turned on, say 5. If someone's previous post has 5 smilies already, it won't merge their next one.

Can somebody code a fix for this? It's annoying because my members have found that this is a convenient way to bump their threads.

[Xenon]

well, actually that's not a bug but a bugfix.

i have had to add that, as if i wouldn't do so, the merge would produce an invalid post, which means, if they edit the post afterwards, without changing something, just edit-submit it would produce a too many images error.

you should increase the smilielimit

[007]

LOL! I have the smilie limit set at 5.. do you think that is not enough??

(I actually upped this limit before until a recent member put 40 in a row. )

I guess I can't win no matter how hard I try lol!

[Xenon]

5 is very low, i know from other boards, there are members posting long texts and are complaining, because 20 smilies limit is enabled (and it's not 20 in a row) ^^

but nope, you cannot win, as this is no bug ^^

hi there
i installed that hack on my board but it seems that nothing works. i altered the file as i should but preventing is enabled. there are no error messages or something the file works as before. any ideas?

[Xenon]

nope, i assume you made a mistake during the install process.

i did not get a similar report yet.
