Video + Audio Mail!

[thumbsucker]

This would be a killer app for Vbulletin.

Ability for users to record video + audio messages and leave them for other users, or make it available for viewing on their Public Profiles.

It could be tied into the existing PM system or kept separate.

Either way, it would be KILLER!

And best of all....a prototype is already available via Flash...he just needs to port it to Vbulletin! :banana:

... and bandwidth / storage costs would skyrocket, assuming size / length limits aren't in the hack :)

Sounds like it would be an extension of the attachment code in vB, and combined w/ some of the vB video player hacks that already exist.

I'd HIGHLY recommend using AJAX or something to have the loading of the audio / video an option to the end user, as that would certainly save the site owner money when it comes to the monthly bill, and the end user when it comes to loading times.

I'd also recommend linking size / length limits to user groups, as higher limits could be linked to a paid service :)
