We are a music production forum. Every year our forum organizes a year end contest where members can submit the best track they have produced for that specific year. Up to last year, when we were still using 3.8, we have used (a modified version of) the post thank you hack (forgot the developer). This hack allowed us to add a vote button on every OP of all threads in one selected forum. Other members could vote for a track by clicking that button and their name would appear at the bottom of the OP. Once a vote was submitted, it could not be withdrawn. TS was unable to vote on his own thread.
After the contest we could run a counter and the result would be presented. Then we would turn off the mod and proceed with boring forum posts again.
Now, VB5 does have a like option which I don't like that much. It doesn't allow me to turn it on or off for one specific forum/channel. It provides the undesired option to withdraw an earlier like. It doesn't show the name of the member that has voted. Basically this option is not of any use as a contest voter. So now that we just successfully installed the vbmodsrock mp3 auto embedder, we are in desperate need for such voter. Is this something which could be easily programmed?
