Can you add a feature to the BBS? I'm sure it's simple

I'd like all posts that contain a link to eBay to automatically add the main listing image for that item to the thread. That way I can always see something about what I'm clicking over to.

Thanks!

Andy's gonna love that...

hmmm, let's see ...

//--------------------------------------------------------
void MarksEbayRequest(Post* aPost) {
Image* thePic = NULL;

 if (scan_post_for_a_ebay_link(aPost) == true) {

   thePic = leech_main_Picture(aPost);
 }

 if (thePic != NULL) {

   addPicToPost(aPost,thePic);
 }
}

Yer almost there. Here's some help.

Parse the eBay page for:
eBayUser_SelfHosted_image.src = '

The image URL follows.

naaa, that would be JavaScript, my example is C++

You should use Pascal. It's good shit.

btdt, there was a time when pascal was "good shit" ...

yes, i am that old!

Pascal designed as an educational language. There have been very few serious commercial things done with it, although one of them was the Mac OS (before X).

still very widely used in the scientific community, along with cobol and basic and others ...

oh man, did all my college projects on turbo pascal!
