I know this may sound potentially annoying for many users, but I surveyed about 100 users asking what features they’d most like to see, and the #1 response was autoplay on YouTube videos with sound. We have a number of music oriented categories, and users want a more lively experience by having the sound start the moment they open the topic.

I’m just wondering if someone would be interested in creating a plugin that could make this an option in the user preferences, similar to the way we have enabled users to opt-in to signatures. We would pay for development of this plugin, if it is indeed possible.

Thanks.
