Maybe I am missing something here....Whats the real use of this? - to ping a location everytime someone posts?

I think I understand it, could you explain the purpose of pinging those places named above?

See:

Could this be set up so that we could configure it on a per-forum basis? For example, the computer forum could ping technorati, but the political forum could ping somewhere else.

Not with this hack, no.

Actually, I'm going to change it to do that for me. It seems to be a simple thing to move the setting from the vbulletin options to the forum options. So, instead of having a list of forums to exclude, the setting would be in the forum manager. In each forum, it will have a list of places to ping when a new thread is posted in that forum.

It won't take me too long to do, and I'll gladly give you the code if you want it.

Sure, always ready to accept code. :)

Polls won't work after install of your plugin.

Is there a bugfix available?

Polls working just fine for me, what happens when you create one?

After I click on submit, nothing happens (it looks like the poll webpage is loading but it is not). The next page just does not load anymore. This only happens when trying to start a poll.

Normal posts work without a problem. On my server is vbulletin 3.5.3 installed. When I deinstall post pinger, polls work without a problem again.
