Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/

Just delete them. Sorry about that. Thought I removed all of them.

Mac OS X generates files called .DS_Store that can often create confusion for non-mac users. These files are essentially harmless. They often become an issue when a developer (on a Mac) creates an archive file (such as a .zip) for people to download. They are invisible in the Finder, so Mac users never know they exist. But when a user on Linux or Windows downloads the archive and extracts it, they'll see this file and then wonder what it's doing there. Is it important to the program they downloaded? Can they just delete it? In the past, I've created such .zip packages that (unknowingly) contained .DS_Store files. Then I've gotten emails wondering what those files were for. I've even been accused of including viruses in my downloads! And all the while I had no idea they even existed.

I did not get a readme file in my download,

Also, what about the DS_store, would your DS_store interfare with nex points system DS_store?
