YouTube embedding
I take it that there's no more embedding YouTube videos?

Agreed. I think the YouTube embeds gave a good amount of flavor and depth to the boards, in addition to being helpful at times.

It's like having CPU-sucking ads for Youtube on every single topic you guys post to.
I can see why you'd miss it.

Re: YouTube embedding
yeah.......it was a nice way, at least for me, to inject humor or levity into conversations......maybe some music or something.
I didn't think it banged a CPU until you clicked on it. Am I wrong? my computer is 6 years old, and seemed to handle it all just fine.
But, I suppose we can all just move along without........listening to and talking with others, is just fine....even crusty furniture has a lot of great things to add........I just miss the option.

You wouldn't have to complain about it if you just broke down and upgraded that dinosaur of a computer you must be using.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Mine is newer, and I did something with firefox that resulted in non-auto video streaming. I like it actually. Damned if I know what I did, it was over a year ago.

Re: YouTube embedding
I use aChrome extension called FlashBlock that gives me an option of clicking or not clicking to see flash content. Blocks tons of ads and just puts a gray forward button arrow in their place. Does the same for Youtube vids. It can be inconvenient at times, but the payoff is worth it.

Re: YouTube embedding
Since it's working on spanky's post, I'm guessing it's a permissions issue. He's an admin, the rest of us aren't.

Though based on his post enabling it, it doesn't sound like he has a lot of experience with phpBB.

Yeah I looked thru the code of that post and it just shows the youtube url like it does when you try it here... I think we're missing a character or two in the buttons or something. Me not speak phpbb.

The code generated when I use the new youtube buttons looks nothing like the code surrounding the one that is working in spanky's post. Several parameters are missing...

BBD- use the "youtube" button when you post, not the URL button. It's at the end after font color.

Re: YouTube embedding
OK I got it now, but it wasn't working before... now it appears to be working! Yay!! Thanks.
I had tried many different combos of things... I edited that post above a few times trying various arrangements of buttons and urls. Then ultimately went back and tried it the way I tried it the first time and voila... go figure
