Not really needed imo. It has that on mmochamp and it's very annoying.

[AfterMidnight]

I know they have it and I love it :X
Anyway, just putting the idea out there.

He means that when you reply to a topic, and during you typing the topic someone else replied, it will ask for confirmation if you still want to post.

ahh... find the code and we might implement it

[AfterMidnight]

I accepted the quest to search for thy code but all that I found was an abandoned beta project for VB 3.7
Any other threads in regard to this on VB were just developers rabbling about how often it should check for posts, how vb's devs suck for not making what they pay for, a petition, and more dev rabble.

^In case any of you are willing and able to take up the challange of crafting it thyself.

I like the sound of that feature.

Is there a way to disable this? Like if some people didn't want to have a message appear everytime some person replies.

[tottelol]

I think this is a great idea! But like the guy above said, an option to disable it would be nice.

[AfterMidnight]

Huh lol, thought I had made it pretty clear this idea wasn't going anywhere :P
There's not even a way to enable this because at the time I checked the internet, even the beta for an extension like this had died.

Unless we make it ourselves (and i aint no dev), this thread can be locked =(

In my mind it would be easy enough to check (psuedo-code) on page view get the current newest post #, then on post check if that is equal to or less than the current newest post #, and if its less than then show the message. (It could all be done with javascript and ajax actually)
