We've had a problem of users continually posting Youtube videos with that horrible, evil autoplay function, so I'm channeling my inner Hammurabi in making a creative punishment. I'm making a forum style that autoplay users will be restricted to, and I want to have an annoying mp3 playing in the background at all times. Unfortunately, if I just embed the mp3, the user can just adblock it and move on. But this article:

http://robrohan.com/2007/09/14/howto...resistant-ads/

has a great idea, to randomize the filename and directory. The author even gives code that will do this. However, having no experience coding, I have no idea how it would be applied to vBulletin. I'm running 3.8.3.

Thanks!

interesting stuff.., I do some php coding but that web server stuff is beyond me.

Would this fit better in Programming Discussions then?

Probably but multiple posts on the same topic are frowned upon... I'd just wait and hope a mod moves it.

Does this not intrigue anyone? This would make for a neat code rewrite or plugin.

Desperate bump for attention. :/

If a user has adblock enabled, there is a mod to tell them to turn it off before browsing the forum.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
