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/

Can you tell me exactly how you make it work, because on my end it just doesn't.

I cut and paste a link and just hit Post Reply...doesn't work.

I cut and paste a link and wrap it with the Blue "M" and I get an error.

try a link that you haven't used yet.

[Dreykan]

All I get is a link.

its something to do with your post. You're adding color and size to the url. So it wont convert.

That makes sense, since it works for you and not me. Any idea how to fix that because I am not adding anything, manually anyway.

its either a setting you have or a hack. I've tried both the standard editor and the wsyg one and they both work. Switch to the standard one and see if any extra text is being added.

I changed from Enhanced WYSIWYG to Standard and it now works.

Isn't that a bit odd? Could it be a conflict?

[nix]

no. it works in both. There has to be something you have installed or set that is messing with your post. I tried both on your forum and it works fine.

I don't know what to say then. It must be a personal setting if it works for you and not me. I don't get it.

I agree it's weird. I've looked through forum and I don't see anything. But it does work with both editors. What browser you using?
