Would it be possible to add this custom bbcode which replaces text with an image using the gd library, like this

siggen.php


HTML:
[img]http://www.ashfrancis.com/siggen.php?text=google.com[/img]

Google won't index domains / emails that way.

Its actually very easy to do:

1) Goto ACP and Custom BBCodes
2) Click add new bbcode
3) call it whatever you want
4) put the tagname as textimg
5) put the replacement as:
<img src="http://www.ashfrancis.com/siggen.php?text={param}" />
(i will give you the php script so you can put it on acorn if wanted)

And your done! :)

looks like a good addition, only problem I can think of is, when a person searched on acorn (normal forum search) for the domain, would it appear?

Sometimes I recall seeing something for sale and then have to search to find it again
 
Thats the point mally, it wouldn't. That way there is no chance of google picking it up.

Emails are the main reason people use this kind of software, bots just pick up text emails and spam them.

It would search the thread in the database so it would pick up the text, as its only turned into an image when it's displayed, not when its queried in the database. So a user can still search for domains.
