I don't know. My guess it is someone on the forum showing off their forum skills, but you're right, it is a little worrisome.

GH- Give it a second, it didn't redirect me right away. It redirects here: http://www.mediafire.com/?y5w4nmumnkm

PLEASE SEE MY "ATTENTION ADMINS" THREAD!!!! There is a worm/virus infecting boards lately. Details are in that thread (perhaps buried one day deep)...

Got to go, but I can provide details later...

What I had wanted to read the post for was to look for a link to the better forum search that someone had created, can you guys help me out with that?

Jon- There is a difference though, between spam and a hijack. You're right though, it's like when someone says, 'Hey, I just got a shock from that speaker,' and everyone runs over to see if they can reproduce it.

Thanks jon, I'm cautious.

Could someone recheck the thread, please. I edited the posts a little, it should be solved.

I don't know about a better forum search, just the regular one three spots up from the bottom on the left.

Really? *Shit* ;) Do you use IE? Does anybody have the same problem. I'll have to change the code on the how-to if it isn't compatible...

It seems to be fixed now, thanks. I was wanting to search for posts by entering a username, but not getting any results from the search on the left. I mistakenly thought I had read in the past that someone had come up with a different search method.

harpwrench, now that you ask of it, there is a somehow superior search (although I don't think that it was ever mentioned on the forum). Type the following into your usual google search box and replace germanharpist with whatever you're looking for:

site:http://www.modernbluesharmonica.com/board/board_topic germanharpist

GH- I checked in IE and Firefox. The autoplay thing just seems to be a Chrome issue. I'll check to see if it's a known Chrome issue. Maybe I just have a default set differently in Chrome.

Harpwrench- It's basically just a Google search. You can add search parameters. The more info you give it the more specific the results. I don't know if it's just searching the text in the posts or if it's searching the whole page. If it's searching the whole page then it should register people's names. Any time someone's name is in their signature it should show up either way.

GH- It seems to be a Chrome and Safari issue. They say this is the fix-

Hey,
The problem is not only in Google Chrome but also in Opera...
Autostart=false <== it plays
Autostart=true <== it doesn't play
The solution is easy.
Next to autostart=false or autostart=true you have to add: type="audio/mpeg" <== It has to recognize the audio file
Grtz and good luck,

It's Wild Bill Phillips - 'Pebble In My Shoe'. It was posted on another thread, but I can't remember which one.

MAL- Not me. It was in the "OT: Practice Your Forum Skills". GH posted it as a tutorial, but every time I went to the thread it started autoplaying. I was tracking down why it was autoplaying on me and not other people. I couldn't practice posting it in the other thread because GH's post was already autoplaying! It turns out it's an issue with Chrome and Safari. Adding another little snippet of HTML to the post fixes it.

GH- I don't know how to edit the How-To, and I don't know how to post the html in a post without activating it, but if you click edit on my post above with the embedded player you can see it.

I have the how-to page on a personal server. I'll change it and the post on other thread too, so that you can access the thread without being bombarded by pebbles and stuff. ;)
