Embedding Video?

[Avenger]

I know a lot of HOF members are posting pictures using photobucket to get around the file size limits and resizing issues on this site by using an embedding link; [IMG] url [/IMG].

Another site I belong to (also using vBulletin) enables members to do the same with youtube; [YOUTUBE] code after "=" in youtube url [/YOUTUBE]. By doing this the youtube screen appears directly in the post and plays without having to open a new browser window.

Can this be set up here also?

Actually it would go like this:

I've tried it here, but obviously it doesn't work. Another forum I belong to has this functionality and it works nicely to have the video window embedded right in the post.

I don't know if it would use bandwidth or have other costs associated. I'm certainly not looking to make this forum more expensive for SAM's.

Cool video BTW.

I don't think it costs anything, it's just a matter of the administrator setting it up. We've even got that capability on my little sandbox which is a freebie. It really does make it better as you at least get to preview a video before you click on it.

Hey, look what I found!!!

The new upgrade allows video embedding. Woohoo!

What a Great Upgrade to Site! If only my Lady Hatteras would jiggle so well if put on water skies behind my 43DC I would surely foot the fuel bill for it.
