I just found a nice plugin for vBulletin that deals with double posts a bit more elegantly.
In the past, if somebody posted multiple times in the same thread prior to anyone else posting then it filled up the page with their posts. This new plugin addends each post to the bottom of their last post until somebody else responds.
....so, instead of these two posts being in two posts....

They are now in one post.

The thread is bumped if the user adds another post so it's a good way to update a thread without making the thread really long with the avatar, etc, added. You can see when the user updated by the date and time added.
