Auto add emulator links?
Is it possible in phpbb to automatically generate an emulator link to my javascript emulator for any URL ending in .prg?

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't want an automated script to change my posts.
Furthermore, I suppose you couldn't guarantee that any *.prg file runs without hassles on your emulator. If you add the link manually in an own follow-up post, that's fine and indicates you checked it at least. But if such an automated link lets the program fail in your emulator, the original poster gets the blame for it.
It's nothing against your JS VIC-20 emulator, you put a lot of work into it, it's just things might not always turn out as expected.
The forum software really needs an upgrade to get rid of spammers, the admins should put the priorities there.

Ah yeh that's really old now, I doubt it runs muchKweepa wrote:I love your 'Inline VIC20' javascript snippet that converts any PRG links on the current page, although I admit that doesn't get noticed by beginners.
I wouldn't mind if the board changed my posts automatically.
Maybe I could make a phpbb plugin you have the option of turning on that would find .prg links and add an extra link.
