In-line HTML5 Youtube videos on B3D

Is it more a case of coming up with a workflow for user to get their content into a real video format instead of gifs? If so, a sticky explaining how to do this and removing gif support would do the job.

 

Amen, Gifs should be banned, I wouldnt even do a sticky (as ppl dont read them) just whenever someone posts a gif, just replace it with a piece of text explaining the situation, the user will then go, 'aha I'll edit my post replacing the gif with a webm or whatever'

ps: cheers for fixing the copy & paste in a reply, one other minor thing I would like is whenever I copy & paste from elsewhere (like Grall has done above, perfect example) I would like the formatting removed, its a PITA when one pastes and then the text color is different or its bolded etc and then one starts typing and the new text is the new style

 

gfycat /thread

 

yes Grall or did you intend to link to Shift Geezer's profile so Shifty could read up about his shady character, btw normally I would select this text and then click click click until its non bolded black & right size but its a PITA. FWIW I use firefox (which doesnt have paste unformatted), chrome is great but theres another user on this PC & I've decided to go with FF, and they with chrome (plus I dont like the mining)

 

@zed it's called tagging a user and it generates an alert to let them know they've been mentioned.

 

wink, cause you know I'm in fact older than you. Well Fuck your dig at my age , well fuck you back cause you're swedish and its eurovision night (apparently more important than xmas there or so I heard a couple of days ago, 3rd most important night in sweden, xmas eve is #4)

Thank christ its working well then ... not

 

@zed there are also limits on how many notifications a single thread will generate for a single user. This is so the user is not nagged to death. It is working as it was well designed to.
@zed you wouldnt want to be notified twice or @zed three times or even @zed four times for something like this, and lets not even go for the @zed five times.

 

I've been meaning to look at a native paste with no formatting thing for ages. I'll make that my evening mission tonight after work.

 

Would it be possible to fix this player, so that it doesn't strip the time marker from the URL when embedding the video?

E.g.:


Should be https://www.youtube.com//watch?v=WpUX8ZNkn2U&t=15m20s

See how the embedded video starts at the beginning, while the linked one starts at the 15:20 mark as it should?

 

Embedding of WebM and or maybe an option to upload WebMs would be a nice addition to a lot of sections of the forum. GIF just wasn't designed for video content.
