forum option to include youtube videos?

[Dutchforce]

It can be done, but what is the reason for it not being used?

Bad idea

Imagine the chaos! [surrender]

You say it can be done, is this via a hack do you know or part of the actual vBulletin setup? If the latter, I certainly havent seen it, but we are not on the latest version anyway.
If it is the later in later revisions then we may discuss it internally to turn the option on, but if a hack is required, we really only apply hacks that we feel are really needed (ie more bot blockers etc) to make your experience better at FM and I doubt the YouTube option would come under that.

What is this YouTube option? Does it show the video right on the page, or does it just pull the title to make a detailed link? I like the second one better.

Ha, you are right! I don't know why I assumed it be possible for vBulletin forums. My mistake, however it would be nice if it existed. Perhaps only on several forum boards.

But since it is not a real option for vBulletin.. this thread ends here I guess.

I think it possibly exists on other vBulletin boards because they allow HTML to be used in posts, and you'd need to be utter mad to allow that here .
