Is it still possible to embed youtube clips into a post if so how would I go about doing that?

Also I notice some people have avatars larger than the 100x100 pixel limit is there a revised limit and is the text saying the limit is 100x100 wrong?

Check who those folks are. Chances are they aren't your average user / had help (e.g. Snake).

Thanks for the quick response appreciate the help

Would users appreciate an option to embed YouTube clips? I think links work well enough personally but I am willing to make a modification I 'spose.

Phil. Ouch.

Also, embedded clips don't play until you hit play and have the title over them usually, so that would actually help avoiding things like... THAT.

THAT SAID, I couldn't care either way. I think Fifth made a tag for that at some point that is probably gone now. Just like I made one for embedding music for this thread (whose images I have apparently also moved or deleted).

Neither really needs to come back (and mine definitely shouldn't as it would be ripe for abuse), but the embedding thing I could go either way on.

I love embedded videos. I mean, I often accidentally click Youtube links because I forget to check the URL and then have to close the Tab, because fuck, it's a video someone thinks is funny and/or topical and I know beforehand, I know I wont care especially if it's a TF2 video and the characters break into song halfway through and sing Never Gonna Give you Up or something.

Nonono, allow video embeds, in fact, make them mandatory. that way I can't accidentally click youtube links. Because I'll never ever interrupt the music I'm listening to for your clip from Dr. Horrible's sing along blog which I want to see even less with every video I see.

Yes, I would quite like the ability to embed youtube clips for what little that is worth of all the features I could request thats the one i want the most. (there aren't any other features I can think of to request though)

This would make browsing the Internet Crap thread so much easier since I wouldn't have to deal with vaguely described YouTube links.

Embedding videos would be great, yeah. Convenient, no more vague descriptions (except from youtube itself) etc.
