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 ;

I'd like to have a hack like this one. Actually, it would be perfect if it was exactly like what vb.org has.

I'm going to release something similar to what vb has for version 3.7 -- when I get time.

Wishlist:

1. [s]threads should be bumped - sometimes I go back to a thread after a long while because I have something to add, but if I'm the last person to have posted in it, the automerge prevents the thread from being bumped to the top, so my addition goes unnoticed.[/s]
2. [s]time limit after which posts do not get merged - this is just one of the possible solutions to the problem outlined in #1.[/s]
3. no need for a page reload like we have in the current version. vb.org does this correctly.
4. better time notation (like vb's).
5. blogs, photo albums, visitor comments compatibility.

Not the most impressive wishlist, but I'll add to it if I think of anything else which would be useful in my opinion.

This mod already does 1 & 2.

Nr. 3 is acceptable with the current hack as it uses AJAX to display, if the post will be merged.
Think about the # post link, which won't work...

I second Nr. 5 though

[Paul M]

To do no.3 (like vb.org and Cable Forum) requires files edits to the ajax javascript.

(Which also means you must use the non compressed versions, not the default compressed versions).

The time notation here uses custom bb tags, which require file edits to the appropriate class.

Could you please provide instructions for improved time notation?
Is there a way to have this hack process old posts as well?

The current solution is okay, but the way vb.org does it is just a lot smoother. If there were to be a big update to this product, I would like for it to do things the way they're done on vb.org, superficially at least.

I keep clicking the download button but nothing is happening it just shows the thing load at the bottom but nothing pops up

A working version for vB3.7 RC4 would be great.
