    PM me the forum you are looking to import from. With the removal of a single line of code, it would work on other forums since all vbulletin forums are essentially identical code-wise. However I built something into this bookmarklet that checks to make sure it's on a VMB TR, just because I didn't want people going too far out in the weeds with this accidentally. I can take that out and it should work on any vbulletin forum.

    Ah ok, thanks. I'll leave it for now then as I still contribute to the other board and don't think it's going anywhere but appreciate the offer.

    Just FYI the two are not mutually exclusive. As you can see from some of the TR's posted with it, it only copies your own posts from the thread with your text/pics/videos into one larger post. You own any content you have posted to other forums. Sharing it here just exposes it to additional people. It doesn't take anything away from the other forum(s), it simply adds to the content here.

    When will your new Instagram Vegas photo site be back up and running?

    You know..I probably have like an hour of work to do to it, but I haven't looked at or touched it in about 2 weeks. I keep telling myself I will, and then I don't lol. I sold my last company not too long ago, so I am now in what I call pseudo-retirement lol - I have some projects going on that aren't really companies yet but I'm basically just chilling at the moment. But I think I will finish it sometime this weekend.

    The big delay happened because I wanted to make it more than just a photo stream. You can still view the raw photo stream, but it also auto-creates shareable stories with clickbait headlines from the streams, featuring the most upvoted photos and videos from wherever.

    For example, "12 Awesome Reasons You Should Be at the Aria Pool Right Now" and it has the 12 most upvoted photos from the last 8 hours from the Aria pool etc. It can create hundreds of these stories per day, and I have about 30,000 Twitter accounts with millions of followers between them that will share the stories. It will also have video compilations, sort of like Snapchat's "Live" feature. It will take the top voted 100 or so videos from the day from every hotel in Vegas and compile them into one stream that you can watch with a click or tap, plus with summer coming it makes a separate one for "pool videos only" since the scenery usually turns out to be pretty great. It also makes separate video streams for a handful of shows, such as Britney Spears.

    All of that is basically done, but I need to do some coding to finish it. My current projection is sometime this weekend.

    Thank you very much for the reply. Sounds like you have added a ton of cool features!

    Are you going to be out in Vegas for March Madness like the rest of us?

    Hey fella,

    Tried migrating a TR from VMB and it processes all 11 pages successfully but then hangs on:
    -----------

    Uploading image 1 of 2
    In the meantime, enjoy the Fountains of Bellagio
    -----------
    As an FYI, there are way more than 2 images!

    Any thoughts?
