    Default Embedded media

    I've seen this on quite a lot of other forums, where they have a special [media] or [youtube] code that allows people to imbed youtube videos into their posts. I was just wondering, but does the .Org intend on implementing something like this in the near future? And if not, why?

    TosaInu added the iframe code in that allows for embedded html frames within posts.

    As I stated in the thread, I wasn't too keen on an automatic page download for both browser security and work-safe reasons. I think he has disabled the code for now.

    This would only be semi-worthwhile in the off-topic forums, and really, why embed something when you can just post a link?

    But I often notice they don't really start loading when embedded and slow down the scrolling somehow.
    I don't really like them, a link is fine.

    I think those problems might just be a problem on your side - i've never noticed anything like that.

    I don't think it's just him - I have it too - come on, not everybody has a super-computer like yours - and even worse - some of us (not me) still suffer with 56k connections.

    I think it's an issue with Opera(I do have kind of a super computer ) but there is no way that I would switch to IE or Firefox just so I don't need to click a link.
