This MOD will display a list of similar/related topics at the bottom of your threads, based on finding the most relevant matching Topic Titles.
This is based on the Precise Similar Topics MOD by Xabi, which uses a precise and light SQL query to find similar topics. I have taken Xabi's MOD concept, cleaned it up a bit more, gave it a nice looking results layout and packaged it in a proper phpBB MOD format. I have also created an ACP Admin settings page where you can adjust some of its settings to suit your forum's needs.
This MOD won the 2010 "Summer of MODs" contest here at phpBB.com!! phpBB Weekly MOD of the Week (episode #161)!
