I'd like to have feedback from others about this first. Awhile back, members were objecting to people posting animated gifs because of the slow download. If they objected to the posting of animated gifs, I'd doubt people would want to have YouTube vids embedded. :no:

Also, I'm wondering if it would slow down the forums in general? :dunno:

It wouldn't because it only takes time to load if you press play =P where as a gif loads automatically when you load the page.

Maybe you could just embed it... and post a video and see if it slows down for you.

I think it would be an awesome idea. By the way, it shouldn't slow down anything.

It wouldn't slow anything down Aly. No problems there.

I've been waiting to hear from other staff, coz only two staff have answered me so far - both were against it, BTW.

I don't see why we just can't follow the link? That's easy enough. What makes embedding the video better than following the link? :unsure:

Because you would have to wait for the entire page to load, instead of just the video.

Okay... staff still seems to be against it, but I gave it a try to test it out and see how it works just for you guys!! :lol:

Okay, I tried putting that code into the Footer, then copied the "Embed" link from this video by Kanakira06 (coz it was handy): Love you to Death

Here's what happened: Test

Maybe the code doesn't belong in the Footer? :unsure: Either that, or the code is wrong. :dunno:

Okay, it doesn't slow down the forums and that was my main concern. It's okay with me to keep it. ^_^

Sorry I was so stubborn about it. :badangel:

aww what's that emote? It's so sad :(

I didn't really think you were being stubborn, it's a valid concern. I only bumped the topic because no one replied and it had been forgotten ;)

Also what are you doing on a 56K anyway? I didn't even know they still made them. :P

Believe it or not, I hadn't forgotten. I was just waiting to hear from more than 2 staff to give their opinion about it in the staff forum. :blush:

I remember when I was living alone barely making enough to get by... I didn't pay my student loans or credit card bill... I didn't have cable TV, I ate a lot of ramen and TV dinners... but I'll be damned if I didn't have cable internet :D
