Miscellaneous Hacks - Prevent Quoting Last Post in Thread

Folks are hitting the Quote button rather than Post Reply when answering the last post in a thread.

We default to Linear Oldest First so it gets rather stale and wasteful to see all the duplicate postings one after the other. We do not use Quick reply.

Find in postbit template:

<if condition="$post['replylink']">
	<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Replace with:

<!-- Start last post reply Hack -->

<if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]&amp;noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a>

<else />

<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>

</if></if>
<!-- End last post reply Hack -->

Take notice that this is for default setting "Linear - Oldest First".

thanks.
This has been a nuisance. Glad finally someone came up with this.

My tag edits were not working with all of my other postbit mods, so here it is one more time in tested form, my inserts in red. Looks the same to me, but cleaner...

<!-- Start last post reply Hack -->

<if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]&amp; noquote=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a>

<else />
			<if condition="$post['replylink']">
				<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>

			</if>

</if>

Apparently I was OK in the first place, but now we are sure.

Would anyone care to match this into postbit_legacy ?

[Quantnet]

i use this for postbit legacy and it works fine.

This has bugged me too. Unfortunately it apparently isn't working for me. I replaced the code but am still able to quote the last message in a thread.

[DaninMS]

Nevermind..didn't replace the code in the postbit legacy. Now it works !

[andreamarucci]

Fantastic it works!!!

All's not gold that glitters.

I was noticing some quoted posts by one individual at the bottom of a thread.

Turns out that he is viewing threads "Linear - Newest First".

My default setting is "Linear - Oldest First".

I just wanted you to know. Back to the drawing board.
