| | | System now has a new way of dealing with double posting
I just found a nice plugin for vBulletin that deals with double posts a bit more elegantly.
In the past, if somebody posted multiple times in the same thread prior to anyone else posting then it filled up the page with their posts. This new plugin addends each post to the bottom of their last post until somebody else responds.
....so, instead of these two posts being in two posts....

They are now in one post.
-----Added 11/25/2008 at 01:48:28 EST-----
The thread is bumped if the user adds another post so it's a good way to update a thread without making the thread really long with the avatar, etc, added. You can see when the user updated by the date and time added.

This is great.
Overall, this is a good program, and you are applying it very well.
I wonder if there is a "plug-in" that would automatically remove signature lines after the first post in a thread or at least remove the default repeating of it. This would save a lot of space and redundancy.

Nope. So there goes the days of joking about how we like to inflate our post counts by posting multiple posts back to back to back!

It appears that the post date of the first post gets changed to reflect the post date of the second post even if the second post (with no posts intervening) is done weeks later.

I think it has to do this or the post would not *bump*. In other words, the old post would simply be addended without appearing any higher in the list if it did not do this. -----Added 11/29/2008 at 07:46:31 EST----- Quote:
