Ned Ryerson 94 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 It would be neat if we can edit the code and add YouTube videos... All their videos have the code right there and all you have to do is copy and paste. It shouldn't clog the server or anything because all it does is go out and grab it of YouTubes server. Any chance this could be done? Perhaps a tab at the top like adding an image? And what is the "code" tab do? The one next to the "image" tab? I tried using it and putting the YouTube code between it but it does nothing but put the code in the message... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Great idea. It'd be much easier to share videos and would add more flare to post game/game threads by adding possibly highlights to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Ryerson 94 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, thats what I figured. But what does that "code" key do anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admin 1 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 The "code" key allows you to insert code, but only UBB code. UBB is a variation of HTML, typically only used on message boards and some blogs. I think YouTube embed video code is probably too complex for UBB, but if anyone gets it to work, please share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 I've done some research and apparently there is a way to enabled youtube videos on UBB format forums. Just google "youtube ubb code" and you get a bunch of results. I think the forum admin themselves need to enable the code or some crap. I could be wrong though.

Ned Ryerson 94 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 I agree Rock, as long as it is used properly, it should be great. I tried to make it work but still can't get it to go... I tried embedding the YouTube code between [ CODE] [/ CODE] and also just pasting in the message. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
