[suggestion] Video embedding

[Dante123]

i like to suggest/request to be able to use (youtube) video embedding on the forums. there are a lot of mods for phpbb that will enable it.

one of my motivations is that i like to make some small example video for my grf's. because its big sets i rather use some video to show all kinds of examples what you can do with the set rather than having loads of screenshots.
therefore it would also be nicer to have the (youtube) video embedded in the post rather than to sent the reader to the other video website.

a second reason why i think its good to have this on the forums is for the help part. good examples would be to show someone how to make certain stuff and also for tutorials.

so, what do you think about this idea ? can we enable video embedding on the forums ?

There's already a [youtube] tag:

Code: Select all

What more could you possibly want?

its not showing in the BBcode list when making a post. on purpose or forgot to select to show it ?
are there more hidden bbcodes ?

It was somewhat on purpose, as when it was introduced it was slightly feared that people might spam YouTube videos everywhere. There are no other hidden BBCodes though!

ahaa i see,
personally i think the chance on abuse for youtube is the same as the img taggs

but good to know it can be used
