YouTube embedding no longer works

[Xendance]

There was a time where we had: [YOUTUBE] ... [/YOUTUBE] and up comes a video embedded into the site.

Then Munro made it so we only had to post the URL, and it would embed itself.

Now it's gone. ;(;(

 

[Hectic Glenn]

This is true. Merci.

Posting the URL with it automatically making it a video was LAME.

I wouldn't mind the [youtube]code_at_the_end[/youtube] though.

Got that was annoying when you wanted to just link to a video.

Especially to a certain Rick Astley video :naughty:

I didn't like the video embedding. I don't have a good internet connection, and anytime a page was loading with a video in it, my connection would go hay-wire, my bandwidth would be termendously consumed even if I never pressed play, and sometimes even crash my internet.

MAYHEM I tell you.


that is my opinion. I don't want embedded video.... why? just click the link if you want to see it!

 

[FishBulb]

Yeah, video embedding drives my CPU usage nuts.

I like the youtube tags better than the auto embedding.

But who gives a flying **** what I like.

 

[DigiQ8]

I say we bring the [youtube] tags back

 

[The Monkey]

This is good news. Auto-embedding sucked.

 

[Munro]

I liked auto embedding :O We can return either option soon, I just disabled it because of the move to a newer vBulletin version.

Edit - I added a poll to vote on...

 

[Xendance]

Haha, you "no I don't want embedding" are sucking ass right now.

 

[FishBulb]

I'd rather have the tags so that there's a choice to embed or link. Either way, I'll still have to go to YT to watch vids.

lol. I'm saving my vote. I'd rather no embedding at all because it ruins my entire experience, and I leave the threads that have them. However, I'll vote for the tags at the last minute if it will make the difference.


I think I can just press stop on my browser, but I don't always know when there is a video at the end of the page... and I'm wondering why the page is taking forever to load, meanwhile whatever I am downloading in the background (like a game mod or driver or software) comes to a crawl.

I've got noscript installed specifically to block videos and flash animations in webpages because it makes my browsing slow and annoying. However, that is defeated because I allow scripts for Half-life2.net forums. So the videos can't be blocked by noscript if they are embedded.

I don't know, like Mastag says, who really cares what I think? I love this section of the forum. :stare:


Pedro for Pres

Peace

 

[Munro]

All working fine now... as far as I can tell.

Excellent.

 

[The Monkey]

Yes, it does.

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

Cool, so is it auto or tags?

 

[CyberPitz]

It's auto

 

[StardogChampion]

So we can't put a LINK to a video?

EDIT: Lame. Remove the Youtube video feature Munro.

Tags, although I do believe the autoembedded saved us from moronic Rick Trolls.

 

[French Ninja]

Yay it's back!

 

[Asuka]

Having it all done by the site was good. Pretty sure it works now.
