Show Thread Enhancements - [OzzModz] Post New Thread Button In Posts

Another mod brought to you by,



This is a simple and better way to add a Post New Thread Button to showthread page...to a closed and open thread...above and/or below the posts.

It can be useful to have a Post New Thread Button on showthread very handy, besides being convenient, it has also may help cut down on thread hijacking/going off topic, if that button is right there to click for the member to start a new thread.

Maybe because what they were reading inspires them/makes them think of something similar.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, product-ozzy_new_thread_button

You can edit the options under the settings, Ozzy: New Thread Button Settings

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to show the button above posts.
• Option to show the button below the posts.
• Option to select which usergroups can see the button.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Not really a conflict, of course you will have issues if you use two mods that do the same thing.

Another mod of you we´re using, too.

The only downside is, that users hit the button in a non-related forum (like cars) and than write a post about football - and you have a lot of posts to moderate and move them into the subforum 'football'.

By design the user can´t choose where the post should appear. Would be great, if there could be a dropdown inserted on the post create page, when they´d come there via this new thread button.

[ozzy47]

Well, ya would think, if you are in the Chevy dealer, and wanted to buy a new car, you would not expect to buy a new Ford.

Meaning, if you are in forum X, then that is where the thread will get posted to, not forum Y.

Perhaps make a announcement for your users, or change the text in the button, and add, In This Forum.
