Sequential Posts In A Thread

    It's been annoying me lately when users post 4 or 5 posts in a row to a single thread. So now when you post a reply, it will check to see who the last poster is. If you are the last poster and you are within the timeframe of being able to edit your last post, it will not let you post an additional reply (it will give you a message saying to wait for someone else to post or to edit your last post).

    Sorry, I did that on the one thread to made a point about the other poster doing just that.

    Didn't mean to tick you off. Thanks for the change.

    the Lawsuit thread was full of multiple entries, so on that thread I did 3 in a row with not much substance in any of them. I tried to be funny, but dry humer (sp?) doesn't seem to make many laugh. Oh well.

    Shawn, not sure if you're aware of this or not, but there's an existing VB3 hack that does something similar, but it's a bit neater...

    you can set the timeframe, and if it's within that and you're the last poster, it just edits the new post onto the end of your last post (and the thread doesn't bump). I love it :) I can find it if you'd want it

    Yeah, mine is just two lines of code within the phpinclude_start template... so I don't have to redo anything on an update. :)

    I know I'm guilty a couple of times. Guess I'll have to make sure and use the edit button eh?

    Just as a heads up, I've disabled the restriction for concurrent threads for the time being. But if it gets out of hand again, it will come back. :)

    I can see it all now...
    Tons of traffic, crowds rolling by, all to see the unveiling of.....







    The Ramblings of Anthony Cea Esq.

    What do you think?
    I think it's kinda catchy.

    Great title, do you think Shawn will let if fly and ban other members from commenting? That way it will all be like that guy he banned yesterday, what was his name, "Industrial Wisdom" or something to that effect?

    Hell if it is a hit with me, Shawn can give that kid his own crazy show :cool: :D :p

    anthony - do me a favor and don't post in any thread I start. Your posts never have anything to do with anything. I'm not kidding BTW.

    Actually, I should clarify that a little bit. Please don't post in any thread I start unless you have something useful to add or comment about. This thread is a perfect example of you adding multiple posts that have no use or value to the actual topic.

    I know... I wanted to make sure you saw it rather than editing the first one.
