This is just a small suggestion concerning videos.

vBulletin has a feature that allows embedding You Tube and Google videos.

The code looks like this:

videocode

Or

videocode

That is without the video data.

A typical You Tube video code would look like this:

Automaton Transfusion trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk6N69lXWBs

sk6N69lXWBs

As you can see, only the code after the equal sign in that link is needed.

Same for Google videos:

Automaton Transfusion trailer
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8366945949799244652&q

-8366945949799244652&q

Only what came after the equal sign is need from the URL. The videos then display as embedded videos that people can watch here rather than having to link to another webpage.

Sounds like a good idea... When ever I see Dead Kev (http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/member.php?u=1) again I'll tell him to check this thread out. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif

Not a bad idea. I see a hack for this using BBCode. I am currently looking into this. Thanks for the suggestion. :clap:

I'm glad you found this thread on your own DK. :)

It was one of the many things in the back of my mind. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif
