Now that we are on our own server and have virtually unlimited bandwidth, it might be worth a try.

Right now I only have to open a tab, find video url (youtube) or website info, then copy then paste the urls I use onto this LL post.

How would "embedding" be an advantage?Is 'embedding' better for people who post from mobile devices? Is that what it would be for?

A few years ago I was using a computer at local library who shifted over into a new type of system. It "added" a new step--- involved needing to use 'attachments' and opening the 'browsers' to go 'fetch' material through a sleeve then pulled out and onto the Library's own DESKSTOP first, then brought by me onto the blogpost page I wanted to publish/post it on. (At least, that's my own visual of 'what was happening' to use 'embedding'-- ) It REQUIRED using the "Browse" button or "Attach" button to REACH for the URL from your files (or desktop).

(I am VERY 'rusty' about technology, and the language-- Took classes back in early 2000s).

---

What I would REALLY like to see is a way we could click and instantly reference the User's "natal astrology chart wheel" (if the user wanted to share it).

Can you use all html?

Because when I was a teen I remember it being a real nightmare in relation to hacking the crap out of message boards, messing with colors yadda yadda...

Its why bb-codes were created, to stop that lol

Perhaps if you can limit the use of html in some way?

EDIT - Me thinks I might be confusing that with JavaScript, since the tags are similar...

Web-coding has become such a blur to me nowadays

It would show the video in the post. You would just click right on it. But yeah, I guess it has its problems, which UBB code prevents.

I don't know, it's not a music/film/advertising community, do we actually post youtube videos so often as to need this option facilitated? i haven't experienced any dire need, perhaps I prefer things the retro way, the direction in which the internet evolves brings me down very much

it's really just me.

guess the Q is: do other boards feature discussions that do heavily rely on embedded videos and such? [most prob i don't frequent them]

I am paranoid to try new things( Moon and mars in Cancer) but LL is working so well now that I would not want to try anything new.

This is kind of my philosophy of life, too

Yes. A cool thing is that when embedded you can often skip the ad (there may be a banner but you don't have to sit through anything to see whatever someone posted).

The only bad that could come of this is that the threads with a bunch of YouTube videos in them would probably take forever to load and possibly even crash some people's browsers.

That's true. Some of us are on dial-up. I try to keep LL accessible to as many as possible.

I hate those idiots keeping track of every move people make.

Maybe people don't want their Planets out there...

Oh, it's probably best the way I am doing it. If you guys have endless space, it works. There is just so much more that I could share that won't copy.
