Comment threads used the be updated every time the node was updated. Even if the thread wasn't created by the comment module resulting in loss of data. This hotfix will only update threads that were auto generated.

Problem description:

The comment_vb module can't distinguish between an thread itself created or one that already existing Because of this it would overwrite the content of the thread when the node was updated. If you linked to an existing thread this would also be updated and therefor overwriting the previous content.

This hotfix modifies the database to include the ID of the auotgenerated thread. This is used to check if a thread should be updated when the node is updated.
You can also force or prevent an update of the thread when you are editing a node (it's in the comments section).

This hotfix includes the hotfix newlines and other markup in generated threads

Applies to version:

Instructions:

Download the linked zip file and extract the content to the modules directory.
Overwrite the existing comment_vb.module.
Go to the Drupal update.php script and run it (the comment_vb module contains a database update)
