[Forum] Double post merging doesn't do anything

[The Vegan Forum]

I've done some tests with this new feature, bit it seems that whichever setting I use, posts will not be merged.

Maybe the problem lies elsewhere, because I've recently found that if I change certain settings - forum behavior is still the same. This started to happen before the 4.2 update. Does anyone have an idea re. where to look for a solution? Thanks in advance.

Have you installed modifications in the past that did any sort of similar functionality?

*Ensure in your options i.e. > AdminCP > Settings > Options > Message Posting Doublepost Options *that you have the time limit set at a value other than 0.

Time Check Limit
Sets the limit (in minutes) that doublepost checking is applied. Set this to 0 to disable checking.

There is a usergroup permission for this as well that exempts the usergroup from the merge. Administrators are exempt by default.

Thanks, it works now - but I don't know why!
I had to change setting after I realized that it works, because we have disabled BB color coding, so the text showed the color code for silver instead of silver colored text, like the following line:

- - - Updated - - -

Administrators are exempt by default.

This is probably why the feature appeared not to work. Thanks again.

How many minutes I should set for this please?

You can try 1440 minutes (24 hours) see if that works for you.

Are you kidding me? I want to know the default value of most forum. at the moment I set 5 minutes for my site.

The default is 720 minutes. That is probably what most forums are using.

Thank you for your information. In fact I forgot the default value and so confusing to decide it
