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/

Ill try and see if I can figure out how to make a temporary fix myself but it would be really great if this would work out of the box .

Edit: I fixed this for now by doing a

TRUNCATE TABLE postparsed

and then letting vB rebuild the posts the first time someone views them. Not a good fix as its takes a bit longer to load threads the first time someone views them but at least it works.

Should also mention this fixes any problems that come with the tags being broken after installing. Although a probably bad idea for any busy forums.

I followed all of the instructions now whenever I got to view a thread or open a new thread I get this
