Something like this mod for PhpBB in core would be good and useful http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic...&t=1056865

Thanks for your suggestion. Well we need much more than for the prevention of duplicate threads rather than getting a message stating threads with similar topic name

for performance, you could create a MD5 hash for the message and store that in a separate field. When editing a post, you can recalc the hash at that time so its up to date.

Then when posting, derive the MD5 for the new content and search on that for what are most probable duplicates.

Good suggestion pavemen.

Thats a very good suggestion pavemen.

I'd use SHA1 (less possibilities of collisions and it isn't significantly slower)
