I know it is a great mod and agree it should be in the base code. After all how many idio.., sorry users go off on a tangent of their own and it had nothing to do with the topic.quote:

Just put it on one of my sites and tested it. Fantastic job there Davio. Only took me abut 2 minutes to install and that was taking the time (for me anyway) to get it right.< |
Cheers,

Thanks guys. My original design was to modify the post.asp page. But my beta testers suggested to use a seperate page which would make the mod easier to install and maintain. Because modifying the post.asp to add the code needed for this mod, was really a tedious task.
There are some small things that need to be taken care of in this mod:
- When there are no replies in a topic, don't want to display the split topic option. Or probably put a graceful error message when trying to split a topic with mod replies.
- When trying to split a topic in an archive, to give a more meaningful error message, since that is not allowed in the archives.
Minor stuff.  < |

You could put a check before the piece where you display the Split Topic icon:
if NOT (Request.QueryString("ARCHIVE") = true OR rsTopic(T_REPLIES) = 0) then
' display the icon
end if
Mmmm...I think I am talking jibberish now...don't have any Snitz code available, and have been working for 14 hours straight now....< |

| I'll find the easier solution. I would rather edit the split.asp page, since all users would need to do is overwrite the file with the new one. Unless they start to make changes to split.asp page.< |

Well done @Davio. Nice Mod
Wondering how easy would it be to implement the MERGE THREAD function with this mod. I am not requesting, just asking. I've seen this MERGE feature in vbulletin.< |

A merge topic mod wouldn't be too hard either. But that's not a discussion to be discussed here. Please start a new topic about that in the appropriate forum.
Modifichicci, I don't know what modifications would be needed to make the mod work with the different mods. You will need to test the mod, see what problems occur and deal with them. If you run into problems ask your question in the Help: MOD Implementation forum. There are users that will help you get the mod working with other mods.< |

Well I just tested it on a clean 3,4,05 and when I split a topic it turns all the forum code into html for the first post only. Which is kinda irritating, because the <> get converted to html.
Anyone? What did I do?< |

Sorry, for some reason I thought this was it.
Now why didn't you just split it  ?< |

then obviously just change the icon size in inc_iconfiles.asp to |15|15
I took this one to fit with my other icons: 
It's from the Korilla skin for Maxthon < |
