no no no no i dont want to click on every thread only to find some **** meme video or a rickroll.
why are people never content on this forum? just post a link if you want to show something to someone, and if you're that lazy that you dont want to copy and paste a link, then just get off the internet.
It has been requested before and i don't think it's a good idea. It will be over used, posted mainly as a reason to show stupid videos, make posts bigger and the content within them will not be beneficial. In basic terms i think it will be abused.
Linking to videos on YouTube suffices well in my opinion.
/agree.
I would really like this to be put in place. :)
agree.
you don't have to click it if you dont want to, it saves loading more pages for people with slow omputers/internet.
good idea and easy to implement.
It's a good idea.
loads of forums have it and you hardly see rickrolls
have you seen the maturity levels on this forum...?Quote:

But thats not worth it compared to the effort it'd take for Jin to install and config it plus make sure it doesn't slow down the forum. and at what cocaine said, you dont have to C+P most links, just clickies.
Useless feature to have on a forum imo, its just something flashy... Flashy like the Flashchat. You can see the comparison I'm making here. :)
@matt: i am mature lol willy.
the wonders of being able to put &autoplay=1 into the link can also be very annoying. Embedded videos that start at once.
When i tried to install it on a test forum it took like 10 min :S so its not that hard to install
I think it would be cool if Habbox Forum allowed YouTube in posts. So long as you could toggle it off in UserCP, it's not autoplay and it's not allowed in signatures.
I think they should enable it too, less mature users would use it for pointlessly for the first few days, but then it would only be used when showing songs or funny videos.
was not expecting that answer from youQuote:

I think this is a great idea, it's been suggested loads of times but has never actually been added on. Lets just hope that doesn't happen again because this is a GOOD idea, 100% support.
I think it should be enabled, 'cos sometimes when I click youtube links on here the page doesn't load, so I have to click up another browser :( less hassleeeeeeee.
i don't see how it's beneficial in any way shape or form. it really isn't all that hard to click a link or open a browser. however, if it was added i would use it i guess. not really bothered either way.
I am against this, i can just see heaps of rickroll crap coming up.
I would love this feature. It would be good in the TV and music forums especially if someone wanted to show people a funny moment or a trailer or a music video. Sometimes opening a new window does Safari in if I've got a lot happening. Personally, I'd use it in my Eurovision threads (it's nearly on season, people!) so people can compare and contrast songs and show off the rehearsals and I could lay it out all nicely.
It might seem lazy to not click a link, but it would be a nice thing to have. If Rick rolls are posted excessively, the feature can be taken away. You don't know if you don't try...
No, if you want embedded youtube videos then make a grease monkey script to turn youtube link into viedos.
You seem to not understand too much.Quote:

Please do it, it would be soo much easier than clicking laggy youtube links
I think it'd be a good idea, maybe if it had its own section?
I think it would need to be heavily moded though
They should make a new video or youtube catergory and only enable videos in that section
This thread should basically be renamed to, 'Can we replace the Spam forum with a YouTube forum?' because that's what will ultimately happen.
As for the lag issue; when I click a YouTube link it has opened and started playing within two seconds max. If anything, it would just lag up the forum whenever you open threads with one or more videos in it.
Actually, it would ultimately make them slower.Quote:

I forgot to mention, I wouldn't like to be responsible for moderating hundreds of videos every day tbh.
Mods would be required to watch any video they came across beginning to end to ensure none of it broke the forum rules. It's seriously never going to happen.
alot higher than clubhabbo yet they get it.
its a good idea and wont be over used. If you think it will, only allow vids in specific sections :S
Such as not allowing it in spam cos then it will be over used.
Well do CH allow offensive language/rude content etc that Habbox doesn't allow? If not than how do they moderate the videos?Quote:

honest to god i really dont see why you cant just make do with links?
Rickroll videos / offensive videos = Ban from the feature for a certain peroid or a warning
And to whoever said they would not like to moderate the vids.. they have to do that anyways by checking the links to see if they have bad words, then adding a warning to the post..
i don't see much more videos been posted than there already is
It could always be trialled for a week.
I dont think its a good idea, the fact that most of the forum are teens and that all the immaturity on here will lead to people posting autoplay videos with sexnoises and constant swearing will lead to outrage.
I don't see why links can't be used, but then again you could always take a happy medium, which is have the videos in a sort of spolier type thing (where the video is immediately put into something that appears like a spolier, and can therefore be watched at your own peril). Sort of like the image size feature, where the video appears hidden "until you click to reveal/open" where it either opens on the forum as an embedded video OR on YouTube, if possible :/
