README

A Flarum extension that warns users when new replies have been added to a discussion while they were writing their own reply.

Ever started writing a reply, only to discover after posting that someone else already replied in the meantime and you missed it? This extension solves that.

When a user clicks "Reply", the extension remembers the current post count. When they submit, it checks if new replies were added. If so, a dialog appears:

"2 new replies were added while you were writing."

OK → Post your reply anyway Cancel → Read them first (your draft stays open)

Clicking Cancel minimizes the composer and scrolls to the new posts so the user can read them before deciding whether to continue.

Features

Detects new replies posted while the user is composing
Shows a confirmation dialog before submitting
Option to post anyway or read new replies first

Draft is preserved when reviewing new replies
Compatible with the Pusher extension (checks server state, not just what's displayed)

JS-only, no database changes
