Does anyone else find that posting anything other than text is painful on the forum?
You Tube provide a piece of code which can be copied and pasted such that the clip is displayed and playable within the post it is copied to.
But it doesn't play ball on this forum. Anyone else managed to get round this?
I find it easier to use the URL offered by YouTube and paste it here as a link - works for me, anyway!
To allow that code to work on a forum would be to allow a forum poster to post arbitrary HTML code, with the associated security implications thereof. It ain't gonna happen.

i wouldn't want it.
it's no trouble to click on a link if i actually want to look at it, but it's pointless waiting for it to load and shuffling the page about
while it does if i don't.

Agreed - and it takes very little time to click on a link and open the YouTube page.
Anyone who's on a slow connection may not welcome the alternative...
Embedded videos are the future. It doesn't take any longer to load it as it only starts to load when you click the play button.

Exactly. There's no overhead, and it reduced the number of spawned windows.
I must admit, whilst this forum is a mine of information, functionally it's very "clunky"
