Greesemonkey does the job if you get you members to use that

Look it up in the FireFox addons site.

makfun! Listen to Mr Happy.

If you want something that works similar to what you seek I suggest you promote one or more active members on your site/forum to moderators.

Greasemonkey

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

in conjunction with this little nice script :

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9467

works very nice for checking links manually but not automatic and it does not move anything to the trashcan.

Good luck...

I am about to github it.

Just looked at the source. Needs a lot of work. Take Rapidshare as an example. It uses the old link checking page which doesn't even exist any more http://rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/checkfiles.cgi when it should really be using the API system.
Same thing goes for Megaupload. It pretty much needs to be re-written from scratch.


As I said earlier their is no link checker for IPB. All other suggestions are just browser plugins that indicate to the user if the links are alive or dead.

That's an awesome idea and even if i have zero coding skills, i look forward to how this projects shapes up!

Idea: why not use the same principle of Greaskemonkey with link check script, to make this IPB link checker script??

Also, does any of the other major forum software already have a working link checker? I think phpBB does, so maybe get some ideas from that and dissect it and rebuild it for IPB.
