All Youtube clips are now embedded!

dendrin · January 8th, 2011, 19:38

Let us know if there are any problems with this here. We have been struggling with a way of dealing with the Youtube reposts and embedding seemed to be the best solution. We still ask newer members to be mindful of reposts but its not as big of deal now since everything is previewed. The best way to see if a Youtube clip has been posted is search for the unique Youtube ID code. All Youtube clips have a code in the URL after the = sign. If you think a Youtube clip might be a repost, copy and paste that code and do a seach. Check the screenshot if you're not sure what I'm referring to.

Lastly, if you want to give thanks or comment on a youtube clip that has been posted, do not include the actual clip in the quote, it will really clutter things up now. Thanks to Fabius for the idea!

Wow! What a surprise! Now all pages are full of colours!

Frankly I was not even aware that was possible to embed the Youtube viewer using simply the link, I supposed it was necessary to use the embed code link.
Of course this is even simpler! and surprisingly works on all links, even old ones! Great!

Still a simple hint: do not forget anyway to put as a text the full title of the clip.
It is true that it is shown already on the preview, but often yuotube clips are cancelled, sometimes banned, and in this cases no trace remains of the clip. If there is the title as text, it is still possible to search the clip in other locations.

Thanks, great improvement!

what i have found is the forum is a lot slower. where members have quoted member whom posted clips, we need to remove the embedded clips from the quote.HOW many member will go through all their posts to do this? i guess its a hugh task for admins to do this. WHEN its come to watching youtube clips, i preferred to watch the actuasl youtube clip and not the embedded clips. u cant save clips that u like watching the embedded clip. and also the related clips in which we may find other clips not posted here. THERE are 2 ways of actually seeing the actual youtube clip, ( 1) the title of the embedded clip with uploaded time that we know, we post the title in youtubesearch to find this clip. ACTUALLY

THERE IS A really really easy method to watch a youtube clip.

ALL u got to do is thank a person on the clip they posted, it WILL then give u the youtube url instead of the embedded clips. i have just tried this method twice by giving thanks to 2 members in the wrestling thread and it brouht up the youtube url for me. when u go back to the f/m section the clip will back to embedded once more. SO i do think the embedded clips are a great idea.

An easier method is just right-clicking on the clips. Then you can copy the original Youtube URL.

Take the "s" off after the "http". It looks like you have some security feature turned on with your browser.

Click on the still image, then copy the adress. Then, a picture of the right scene will appear in the forum.
