The very next person that posts an automatic sound download file without asking management first will be banned for LIFE.

DO NOT SULLY MY FORUM WITH THIS JUNK AGAIN.

What exactly do you mean by automatic sound files? Do you mean MP3's and other copyrighted music, or just sound files in general?

Yes, automatic code in a thread which plays when a user opens the thread itself. Links to music/sound files are fine, so long as the user has a choice to hear the music/sound files or not. This has become an issue in the past few days, as the freedom we allow at BCU has been abused by several members.

so in other words, if I understand this correctly, if I have a sound playing in a thread I hafta have a control thingy coded in so the person can turn it off? I've only done this once on BCfiles when I released my christmas package of tmp and that was a twok midi of about 45k.

i thought he meant it shouldnt play in the first place but have an option to play it if the user so chooses.

... otherwise its no better than a silly webpage pop-up! Anoying

As they say " A noise annoys!"

the problem is that some people dont want to listen to music or sounds in threads.

On threads? Thats for the whole wepages out there - homepages with sounds simply sucks.
