Find Topic: Existing Topics Check

A permitted port of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59940

Very nice idea and thanks for porting this hack

Edit : Calorie is it possible to change the mouse effect ? some users may not have chance to figure out if the image is a link or not.

In the Find Topic newthread_form_complete plugin find:

document.findicon.style.cursor = \"default\";

And replace with the following to always have pointer:

document.findicon.style.cursor = \"pointer\";

Hi

This has taken the option to choose a thread prefix away
If its mandatory to choose a prefix then you cant post the new thread!!

Turn off your product and the prefixes work fine again!

I turned off the thread prefixes....
I submitted a thread identical to another posted and nothing happened
it just posted the new post

Any ideas please?

This mod is for viewing similar threads prior to submitting a new thread. Enter a title and then click the icon to see what it does. For the thread prefixes, see the attached.
