Advertisment Posting Bot!!!

[mello_mike]

I don't know if this has been requested or not...

But I've seen this on a forum before, where the 5th or 6th post in a topic is a "bot user" and the post contains an advertisment.

It would be nice if we could get a mod like this for vB .. that way while members are reading the topics, they will have not choice but see the 5th post, which will always contain an advertisment.

It should be made where we could change the username of the bot and add HTML code for the advertisments, just incase we want to use google ads.

If I recall correctly this can be done by a simple template edit. Use a conditional to check if it's the 5th post, and if it is, add the advertisement postbit to the postbit template.

While those wouldn't be actual posts that are stored as such in the database, this method would actually be better, since it doesn't add a post to the database for each thread.

Unfortunatelly, I can't find the thread to it

Thank you very much for your response...

But I have no idea how to code at all... I just know how to admin my forum..lol :nervous:

Is there a way someone can explain how to implement this?
