Board request thread

[JuzMel]

No worries. Actually, Mel's unrelated tip gave me everything I need

Arggghh.. How is my tip un-related when the first post on this thread was bread talking about adding an exchange rate function?

I only read the first post and didn't go on further, that's why I didn't realise how a currency exchange tool question can lead on to female members getting more welcomes than male ones... Men will be men...

Actually I've been on the board so long that I can't remember how my "welcome" phase was already... heehee Although I do get the occasional PMs "Wow, you are a female fan?!"

Back on topic - something I'd like to see is HTML code embedding so that we can do things like directly embed videos into posts (instead of just links).

Here's an example - this is YouTube video's HTML embedding code.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w7Wc5fetLjo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w7Wc5fetLjo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

If there were an option to allow for embedding then this code would appear as the actual video on the post/thread and users could simply click on play and watch it in the thread instead of opening a new window.

Personally, I think many of us manage to do that every time a female member shows up anyway. I am consistently appalled at some of the responses in virtually every female introductory thread.

I know what you mean... (There sure are some weird ones 'round these parts... )

No no. All good. There was just some cross talk. Your advice was unrelated to my question. (see Paulbot, I told ya ya shouldn't merge the topics ). But yet, your answer to that other question gave me what I needed. Thanks!

Raw HTML is very dangerous. An alternative would be to have a YouTube tag per se, like [YOUTUBE=yR02NDdsCCA]. Then the board can dynamically make the HTML required to embed the other tags. I know if I had raw HTML capabilities, I could do some serious damage.

They ain't showin' up for me Tober. Maybe they're blocking external embedding and you just see them because they're in your cache.

To make this work I had to save it as a pic, upload it to my Photobucket account & then paste it in - IMO too much work for one emoticon...

DAMN TFW! Always one step ahead...

Yeah. I might try this place instead:

Ya know... there was a time when emoticons was just pure text, especially back in the pre-internet days (telnet ftw!). :-p B^D
