  • thread_id in message header

    From Nightfox@DIGDIST to Digital Man on Saturday, October 11, 2014 12:12:18
    Hi DM,

    If I print the properties of a message header, one of the properties is thread_id. I'm guessing all messages in a sub-board that belong to a particular thread will have the same thread ID, is that correct? Also, in what version of Synchronet was thread_id introduced? I don't see it on the JavaScript documentation page:

    This is correct as far as I know.

    thread_id is also the number of the original message in the thread. (The original message may or may not still exist.) If the message predates the addition of this property, then the value will be 0.

    what version of Synchronet was thread_id introduced? I don't see it on

    It was introduced after 3.15b, in March 2012 according to the commit log. So if you want your code to run on pre-3.16 systems, check that (typeof header.thread_id == "number") before attempting to make use of that value.

    Correct. It's not 100% accurate for networked message areas however.

    It was introduced in v3.16 (work in progress).

    Yup, that's why. :-)
