    I have a Halloween thread and want to add short Halloween sounds, can not find any info at vb.com or vb.org. Does anyone know how to do it as I have seen it done before. Just want to add it to a THREAD in a Forum... suggestions?

    You mean just a sound clip or an auto playing sound clip which auto plays when that particular thread is accessed?

    Well you might be able to do that by allowing the admin to use HTML and then posting the javascript snippet to make it happen though it would only work on the first page but would be the easiest to implement.

    Another alternative option would be to use the conditional hooks like these by globally inserting the code to play the sound clip and only enabling it in a particular thread or forum section. Though coming up with conditions necessary to invoke it would require a bit of trial and error.

    Now how would I go about doing that? Where would I get the javascript snippet from? One page is just fine, can turn on HTML that's fine, just don't know where to embed the code and what kind of code.
