I'm confused. It's not a needed feature because not everyone posts YouTube videos every single day, in every single minutes. If it was something worth while, then maybe :/

Besides, clicking a link takes about as much effort as watching it ona forum anyway:

1 click on a forum plays it.
1 click as a link opens a new window and plays it.

Same amount of effort

That said, if there was a way to post an image "preview" of a video (YouTube, Stumble etc), then that could work. Like find an add-on which you put in a [video] tag, and it takes the preview image of that video from, say, YouTube and shows you what the video looks like, then it could work.

Thats actually a really good idea, using spoiler like tags.

I really like this idea.

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.

Yeah, fact is you won't :S

I don't see why not.

On today's computers the performance degredation would be negligible.
