I guess I am a little confused about this. I made the edit, and then checked a posted ipod referral link and it appeared to be the same and when I clicked on the link it went to the original referrer and not mine. I know I couldn't have messed up the file edits since there is only ONE

so... maybe I am confused about this hack and what it does ??

It replaces their id with yours simple as that. I tested it on my local board and it worked fine

Nice idea, but didn't work fo rme either....He has it linked to an image in his sig...is this the reason??

EDIT:: DUH!!! I just added this underneath the original code and noe it changes it in the signature also.

Code:

$post['signature'] = preg_replace('/www\.freeiPods\.com\/default\.aspx\?referer=([0-9]+)/', 'www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=' . $refid['freeipods'], $post['signature']);

Thanks.....

I thought that is what it was supposed to do, but it doesn't work on my board. Can someone post an example of the code with a fake referral code in it, so I can see where I should be adding my ref ID in (since that must be my problem)?

I think it is still cooler to just remove the spam from your forum, rather then allow it and replace the spam with your own spam info.

In a code box give me the URL you were testing and I'll post it on my local test board to see if we have a bug
