Suggestion: Imbed function for youtube videos

[Michael G]

Since so many threads have links of youtube videos in them, I think there should be a youtube imbed option on the bar line above where you type your posts.

On another site I use, clicking the little youtube sign gives you the [yt][(end)yt] where inbetween you just add the letters and numbers after the "v=" thing in the web address bar on youtube. (example, [yt]a2009bf47f[(end)yt]

I am thinking it is an easy add in, but not sure.

Thoughts?

Also the edit button adding another thread instead of changing the old one?

Also the edit button adding another thread instead of changing the old one?

Why? That makes no sense at all. Why add another thread if one already exists on the topic? If ones post needs to be edited, why should another thread be made? That is a total waste and creates useless threads.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your suggestion. If I am, then I do apologize and ask for some clarity.

I do think that a YouTube button function would be cool. But, I don't know if that is worth the effort since the links are simply posted in the threads to be seen. Again, I may be misunderstanding the entire point.. lol.

I edited my original thread and instead of making changes it just mad another thread altogether....

I think he's talking about embeding the vid in the post itself instead of linking out to where it is hosted.

It is simple mod to install on the server.

There are thousands more free hacks, er..modifications, for vBulletin.

Typically YouTube videos that are posted on this forum fall into three categories: silly videos that have nothing to do with drumming and don't belong here, poor quality copies of high quality originals that are already on the DrummerWorld main site, and forum members showing themselves playing. Anything that discourages posting in the first two categories is fine with me.
