YouTube & Google Videos now appear in-line!

Seeing the recent volley of YouTube links pop up here, I decided to finally research a way of safely getting the videos to show up in place instead of having to link away. Well, after a couple false starts (last night there was a brief period where you couldn't post ANYTHING), there's now a way.

And it's EASY!

All you do is paste in the URL (don't worry about copying out all that embed code) and it'll automatically post the video.

Like Steve Jobs would say, "Boom!"

Super cool. I assume you are working on the formatting in the other forums.

Also...

This'll work on blog entries too. So now you can augment your high-brow discussions with equally high-brow video.

In "the music the message", the videos mess up the screen. Or maybe it's just the way the coding was originally entered.

Yeah, it's all my "a href" code that is messing it up.

Hmmmm

That's weird. It looks fine when I look at it here. What do you mean "messing up the screen"?

Just checked it in Firefox. Yep, that looks FUCKED UP.

OK

You were probably doing it while I was doing it too, but I pulled out the href codes from the videos and now everything formats fine.

So folks DON'T USE HTML FORMATTING ON YOUTUBE OR GOOGLE VIDEOS. Just paste the URL in without coding. It'll work. Trust me. The other way around will--at least for the time being--create trouble.

Actually, I can only edit the first post of the thread if I created it, and the last post I made in a particular forum. All my other posts lack an edit button.

I can't get to an edit page for those posts by plugging the edit page url into my browser either.

really??

that is totally strange! I'll have to look into why that is. What browser/OS are you using?

Yeah, it's been that way since the new forums came up. I assumed it was a feature.

I'm on Firefox in Windows XP.

You *should* be able to edit. I will have to look into this. Very weird.

Also, editing a post moves it to the very bottom of the page, in both the blogs and in the forums.

Thank you, Dan, for making the video thing work. That's a cool addition. I know I'm gonna use it.

Stop Being Such a Whiny Baby

I suppose out of the hundreds of pp.com users, you're being singled out somehow? Is that it? Is that what you think?

Yeah, I guess there's some big conspiracy against you so you can't post YouTube videos.

Get wise, jerkhole. Nobody cares about your dumb little problems. Now quit being such a stupid whinny-whining sissy baby.

reading comprehension

Which part of "So folks DON'T USE HTML FORMATTING ON YOUTUBE OR GOOGLE VIDEOS." didn't make sense?

Don't put "a href" and all that. Just paste in the URL.

I Told You Not to Go There

Didn't I, Greg? Didn't I tell you not to go there?

But you went there. Oh yes you did.

Now matters are worse.
