If you are wondering if this works or not, it does. Just try it out; the installation is very short and simple.

Installed and working at http://rockpop.goldenpie.com/forums for those wanting an example ;)

Brilliant hack, Gary! Well done!!

Here's an Image that I'll use for this one, just in case someone want it.

Great hack so far, but I did find something I was hoping you can fix. What ever words are in the brackets {censoredword} in the admin cp don't get replaced by the image file. How would I fix that?

That is not a default replacement is it?

no the words that are seperated by spaces are the default replacement, the ones in brackets are more specific to certain way a word is used. for example the word assemble would have the first three assemble charactors censored out. but if you put those three assemble charators in brackets on the censor list, it will only take the first three charactors out if they appear alone.

Is this a hack you are using for vBulletin 2? Or is this vBulletin 3?

I'm confused. Can't you just use the word for the smilies..?
For instance if I want to censor the word H-e-l-l, I could name the censored smilie h e l l and then when someone types it, they get the image?

If you want to, sure then go ahead :)
