Please note:
Any rules that apply to the board about links applies to this as well. Please refresh yourself with our rules page if you're unfamiliar with them.

If the main aspect of the video, IS foul language, please do not bother linking to it.
No videos in your signature.
Also no more than ONE video per post please.
One last thing... please as a common courtesy either remove the URL coding from a quote, or just do NOT quote posts with a video.Ya, we have them here finally. In your post screen you'll see a new UBBC button. It's found above the smilies, on the far left bottom row. Paste your YT link, highlight it, hit the button. There ya go. It should look like this before you post... [you tube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg[/youtube] ...and look like this once you've posted it. Feel free to go to Ask a Mod for further assistance should ya need it. If anyone is finding pages with these links to load slowly, please report it to us. You can use this thread to test this for yourselves. KNOWN ISSUES:YouTube URLs that contain a "-" will not work at this moment.

The only thing Judson Laipply inspired me to do was download the Billy Idol song he used in that video.
Also, cool for embedded videos.

I LOVE this idea, and I HATE this idea.
I love it for obvious reasons; I'm a massive reference nerd, and I tend to want to share a lot of videos. I always want to be sure people are checking out the videos I post, and, for the most part, I try to check out everything other people post, even if I end up no-selling it in the discussion.
But I hate it because this is going to freakin' destroy my RAM every time I unknowingly click on a video-rich thread. Firefox ALONE kills my RAM and it crashes enough just from everyday browsing. As technology progresses, and everyday applications become more and more memory-intensive, my minuscule amount of RAM becomes less and less powerful. I can't speak for everyone, but I do believe that this would end up being a problem for most people here; I think it's only a small percent of any given forum that has the newest computers with the most power.
Even though I only mention this for purely selfish reasons, I think it's a legitimate argument that effects a whole lot of other folks. But, even so, I only mention it in passing.

This actually wasn't our choice to embed and if you have issues of killing your browser or connection speed please keep us informed.
If this gets too bad for people we'll get coding to get it disabled...

Trust me, it's one we deal with all the time. That said, it wasn't our choice to enable this feature - it's across-the-board on Proboards now. Best we can do is limit in some ways, such as the aforementioned rules about linking to only one video per post.

Also if you don't mind, go to the music video thread and tell us what happens to you just by going in there.

Also if you don't mind, go to the music video thread and tell us what happens to you just by going in there. I did, that's where I first saw embedded videos. It slows me down a good amount but it's not entirely undoable. But, that's also a thread where everyone's following the rules and posting one at a time; you get a thread where someone's not paying attention and embedding a bajillion videos, and you're toast. I mean, again, I'm not going to complain about it; that's why I have board signatures turned off and tend to avoid Photoshop or "post this picture" threads. I'm just sure there are a few people here who don't really want to play Minesweeper every time we check the forums.
