Hey,

Right i have seen this on many forums and is verry good. What i am requesting is a bb code for us to embed youtube videos.

Say you opinions on this.

Thanks

It's been wanted before and I'm sure I heard it causes lag to the forums. They argue that you can just send a link instead, I'd like it but I'm not fussed with the links.

Also, what if someone posted an indecent video on the forum for everyone to see?

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No.

See this is a bit of a tough one.

Yeah, it'd be nice to be lazy and just click play and all that hoo-hah but then you've got the issues with forum rules and moderation because every moderator would have to watch every clip to check it wasn't rude/swearing/insulting etc etc

External clips are covered because it doesn't matter if its rude as no rude content is on the forum. Then also you've got the issue of everyone spamming the forums with youtube vids but it isn't pointless like if I post about Grey's Anatomy in Television someone then posts a grey's anatomy music vid and then it becomes as 7 page thread about everyone's favourite music vid WITH clips and it is all a bit 'argh'.

It isn't practical for this forum.

What i was going to say is what the guy above me put, it could be abused and then HxF management would be held responsable.
Its a no from me, sorry.

This has been suggested before and it was declined with a valid reason. However, I cannot remember said reason. Although I'm sure it would be abused in one way or another.
