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.

• 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/

Something is wrong. Just upgraded to 3.1.0.2 and now I get this error when attempting to view any thread that has embedded videos

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: krumo() in /home/user/public_html/includes/class_postbit.php(426) : eval()'d code on line 23

I upgraded by uploading/overwriting all files and uninstalling old plugin, uploading new.

[nix]

download it again and import the product again. I just noticed that and fixed it already.

that krumo function is something i use for testing.
