texaschickenlittle Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Is there a tag that allows you to post embedded videos into a post? If there is can y'all tell me? If not, it should be implemented so people could post videos from instead of a link to the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbamber Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 This would involve HTML code which is terribly bad for a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fake Apology Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah Shamber is right. Just post the link which leads to the Youtube/Metacafe etc video and people will watch it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Oh, there is a way to do it, but YCM doesn't support it. It would be [youtube=*******], where the stars is the jumble of letters and numbers after "watch?v=" in the video's web address. Say, if I put in [youtube=rO_Vr9yP9bQ], I would get [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO_Vr9yP9bQ]this video[/url] embedded in this post. Unfortunately, as you can see, YCM doesn't support it. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiAM Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 yeah, this forum does nto support embedding as it can cause spam and offencive material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzix Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It could also lead to the start of a dreaded... rick roll chain, it's too horrible to even think of..., but seriously I think too many members would be quick to take advantage of it.
