I think your hack contains XSS issue, you use $_REQUEST in the HTML without any check, this opens a security hole.

I change the code to run $_REQUEST['t'] through the cleanup process. Other than that no security issue should exist, since I'm only reloading request and post information, not using it in anyway.

i asked for this mod a week or two ago and now its here. Ofcourse i will nominate it and ofcourse the five stars.
I hope in the future it will also work with quick reply, but that isnt a must. I am glad with this one!

Good work!

I only added to the phrase nothing that could have added that extra code, i didnt touch any template!?

It warned me about the last post being made, but when i went to review it it was not the last post it was the post before the last post!

As for the last post/not last post, could you explain better, please?

It checks to see if any posts have been made since you started your post. There could be more than one.

I might consider complicating the query a bit, and providing some varied phrasing. e.g. "A new reply" and "x new replies".

I'll look into the quick reply at the same time. If I do it, I'll make it off by default and admin settable. I can speak only for myself but if I'm using quick reply I don't want a bunch of checks and stuff slowing me down and asking me questions. That's why I using quick reply

Damn! You stole my idea , I was in the process of making this. Oh well. But I have a solution to make it work with quick reply .

[hambil]

It's not an issue of making it work with quickreply. I chose not to. However, I'll probably make it optional in the next release.
