Board Problems, Suggestions and Updates

So.. uhm. Any word about that Plugin idea?

Well, we might give it a try, yeah. What was the plugin gain? Aeva Lite?

also I'd like to promote our Minecraft server a bit better then just a lone topic "hidden away"..

Uh ... sure, I guess. We could try. Any suggestions on the means of advertising it ?

here's the link. I'll let you download it right from my Pc.
Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio You can disable the [youtube] plugin as it'll still use the tag anyways.

for the minecraft server, maybe having a visable button at the top? Only Idea I honestly had.

I dislike the new youtube linking plugin, i can't even link a video in a poll without creating a preview... This will make it way harder for people with slow internet to browse the topics if people link loads of video's on one page. A link is nothing, a video preview is a lot to process.

I prefer the old way with the youtube tags alone and not the current way..

Hmm... This didn't pop my head when Miacis mentioned it before.

I agree with Pride, either remove it or make it so you can select wether you want to use it or not.

Also adding to this, why would we need something like this to make it a preview for us? We can easily add youtube tags ourselves, it's not like we're complete imbeciles or anything..

This plugin makes me feel like, you think we're complete idiots and that we're incapable of using youtube tags

I concurr fully. It's a stupid, pointless idea that makes life harder for those with slower internet.

Proof that everything has to be about god damn convenience these days...I remember when we had the computers with the single color, the white or neon green on black with text.

Damn kids and your music...

[Segtendo]

Yea.
I'm kinda against this new Youtube plug-in as well.
Seems like somewhat of a hassle to work.

Yeah, also, why create motorbikes? They make me feel like I don't know how to pedal and take me for a complete idiot. :P

Joking aside, the only valid point I see is the slowdown of the internet for some people being a problem, so yeah, that should be enough.

The plug in has th eoption to turn off autolinking from youtube. The main reason I suggested it was cause it supported 145 different media outlets like Gametrailers' videos. I was also hoping to help with the youtu.be link as the old version didn't support that. This plug in does more then just youtube =p

edit: If you really would like to know what everything it supports is, here's a list:

You realize this does a whole lot more than just Youtube?

And regarding it slowing people down: was there anyone who was considerate of that before, or is this just complaining for the sake of complaining? You realize a video doesn't consume your bandwidth until you've started buffering it?

Anyway, I'm pretty neutral on this thing. I just wanted to make sure I was reading informed posts.

I'd also like to point out that using a spoiler tag with this plug in actually doesn't load the flash video viewer untill opened. A good example of that is in the Pop-Fiction topic as they don't attempt to load the preview untill the Spoiler was actually opened, unlike a photo. Even when the spoiler is closed and reopened, it reloads the preview

I'd assume he meant smartphones, as I've had experienced myself slowdowns due to downloading/setting a video preview on pages I go to on one.

Unless you're on a Dialup/CellPhone, I can attest that I can load the topic I just posted in (using the website's own timer) "0.797 seconds with 22 queries", and I'm using the slowest broadband available (sad to say).

i see the thing more annoying for polls...
autolinking in a poll kinda sucks...

if u put a video link inside a URL tag, does it still load the plugin?
cuz thats a solution
