A New BBCode has been added to the forums, you can now embed youtube videos into your forum posts:
To use simply use the code , with the video code inside it, (so for example if the code GlrDduskfnY is used inside the tags, you'll get this:
[youtube]GlrDduskfnY

One minor rule for now: Do not include these in your signatures - i'll be making a seperate version for signature use.

Oh... and don't over-use this. :P

That was about time. Thank you very much. Now we can spam videos instead of linking to them. Hooray.

Really, hooray. Thanks for you work(?).

Added the signature version:
S9uH8a6Sra0

This alternate code is [youtubesig]

That should do for now.

I was hoping to put a little old rolling Rick in there... but you can't embed any of those videos.

Interesting . . . VERY interesting . . . you think Embedding Flash-Banners might be possible someday too?

Safe to assume the "No Hentai" Rule applies here, too?

*adds 'How to trap a n00b* to his sig*

Yes, I just need the code to put it in. Give me a day or two.

Umm. If you don't mind me asking. Is there a way for individual users to block out the youtube sigs and such? For some strange reason, Youtube keeps crashing my computer.

This is one of your best ideas yet Ace. Great job!

I'd like to ask those who plan on using this feature, or who are already using this feature, to put the Youtube link in spoiler tags if they already have something else in their signature, because we don't need the signatures getting any damn longer.

@Bloodbane: I don't think there's a function to do that.

Zy, what about the size of mine? I don't think mines that big to require a Spoiler is it?
Zyros

If you're putting it next to the rest of the signature (like Jace did), then I don't see a problem with it; it's more for the people who's signatures are already borderline acceptable as is.

That's what I thought. I honestly didn't think it was that big when I had the video below the sig either but this way it's more controlled.

Even when the vids aren't playing? I'll look into it.

Best tags ever. Except maybe for Sarcasm tags, but these are more useful. Now, to find an actual USE for it.

Hmm, I guess I'll use this, too. I want people to know about this secret I found.

Seems people are already finding uses for it. Good, good.
There are now two additional tags:
[youtubeplaylist] and [youtubeplaysig]

Guess what they do. :P

How do you set up the playlist option? By using commas?
Pinkie Pie
04-06-08, 16:33
No, you have to have a youtube account to make a playlist. Basically create a playlist on Youtube, and insert it's number into the tags, so sticking B31CF5377A9B14C7 between the tags equals:
[youtubeplaylist]B31CF5377A9B14C7

Well for some reason the Sig version (or any of them) don't seem to work when I try to use it...

I use this... (minus the parenthesis)

f8Va4Ebq764 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=f8Va4Ebq764) [(/)youtubesig]


I get this

Do you have flash installed?
Boilman

To all: the videos will not work when put in spoiler tags. Stop doing it.

Seriously, stop it.

The most recent, yes, Unless they updated again...

@Boilman- I put it in spoiler because it was a very long code, it broke the width of the thread...

Is there perhaps, a widescreen code you can implement?
