I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to make an auto-neffer. My juju is weak, but I suspect it might have gotten me a couple of infraction points if it had worked, so maybe it's for the best.

I did that once on another forum. It turns out it's possible for a thread to have more replies than views. :awe:

It would seriously crash the server if it was tried here though.

Oh if all it would do is crash the server, nobody would ever notice. I'm sure I'll take another look at that later, possibly when I know anything about html at all.

there is a 15 second interval requirement.

And if we need to refresh the page to keep replies < views there's a 200 second interval requirement. Either one shouldn't be hard to code in, even if we have to express it as 200000ms. I just couldn't make sense of where the message text goes, where to send the message to, etc. I tried sending to "forums.anandtech.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=36808573", because that's what the quick reply points to, but I suspect that link will change as the thread is updated, and it didn't work anyway. From what I got back it looked like it was taking me to what I'd get if I had clicked "go advanced", so I probably screwed even that up, missed a variable or something.

Need to do a post req nor get. Action would go to the URL. Easiest way is packet sniff a post then just resend that packet sorta. You may need to handle session cookies post length etc. I may give it a go later if I'm bored. :sneaky:. Been a while since I messed with that.
