Re: Post merging feature

Post by Blaziken257 »

With the upgrade to ZetaBoards, one of the new features is post merging. It occurs when somebody tries to double post. Essentially, if anybody posts two consecutive posts, it automatically merges with the previous post. In other words, the first post is automatically edited with the second post appended to the bottom. And if it's been over 24 hours between posts, the second post will actually bump the topic, which is convenient if you have something new to add and nobody posted in the topic in a while. (I can also change it from 24 hours to up to 48 hours if it's necessary. I could also turn off the feature entirely if enough people don't like it.)

Also, this has the added benefit of making multiquoting easier. For each time you quote, you can just make a new post, and it will be merged with your first post.

Comments?
As a demonstration, I am making a second post here. As you can see, it's automatically merged with the first.
