You Tube question
Is it possible to embed You Tube videos into MB threads?
Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.

I'm still deciding whether it's wise to allow embedding of YouTube vids on the site. When people post a link, I don't feel responsible if it goes to something annoying, stupid, obnoxious or offensive. When it's embedded, despite the fact that it's hosted on YouTube, it appears on our pages and has the appearance of being on MB.
Plus, as is, we get a ton of the same videos posted repeatedly.
Now, if there was a series of member-generated video tutorials or something like that, then I'd think of a way to get them up here.

Won't embedded videos also affect page load times? I'm on a DSL connection that averages about 256Kb downstream, and some of the MB pages take long enough to load as is. I'd just as soon stay with links, thanks.ericalm wrote:I'm still deciding whether it's wise to allow embedding of YouTube vids on the site.
