    Preventing A Poster From Reacting to Their Own Post

    Can this be done in VB6 cloud?

    #2
    It used to be like that in vB5 but they changed it in vB6 because a lot of forum owners requested it. It can be done using Template hook.

        What annoys me is when you try to see who reacted to your own post you end up reacting yourself when you don’t want to! So a fix would be great.

          Editing a comment
          You'll have to long-press (touch devices) or mouseover (mouse devices) to see the reactions of users. And if you click or tap an existing reaction by users, you'll add the same reaction or if it's your own reaction, then it removes your reaction. That's an existing behavior. The mod I'm creating will not change this behavior. The only change will be is if you click or tap an existing reaction by a user to your own post, it will not add the same reaction but it will display an error popup saying you are not allowed to react to your own post.

        You'd have to create it yourself. This would not be a simple mod. I could create it for you and others for a minimal fee if you are interested.

            I'd be willing to pay as well, especially if there was a customizable warning message that would pop up warning against the dangers of self love.

                I've completed the self-hosted version of this mod and I'm in the process of finishing up the vBCloud version. I do have a question for you Topper or Mrs.T or to anyone using vBCloud.

                Are you allowed to create new phrases in AdminCP in vBCloud? You can verify it by going to AdminCP > Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings > Phrase Manager. Do you see the "Add New Phrase" button and are you able to click on it and see the "Add New Phrase" page with the Save button?

                Thanks!

                    Yes, I can see it as well. I've also edited a couple of existing ones so adding one shouldn't be a problem.

                        Here you go...

                        In vBulletin 5, you are not allowed to like your own posts. But in vB6, the Likes system was replaced by Reactions system and in the new system you are allowed to react to your own posts. If you prefer the older behavior to not allow a user to react to their own posts, then this mod is for you! When a user attempts to react to
