New YouTube Linking Feature

Post by slayerdiabolus »

Hey everybody,

As we continue to improve MetPage behind the scenes, we'd like to let you guys know about a new feature we've added.

YouTube videos are always being linked here on MetPage so we've added something to let you embed them in a topic.

For example, if the video URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziThYl6B2vw, you would type the following into a topic

Code: Select all

[youtube]ziThYl6B2vw[/youtube]
And it would then display like this


Hope everyone enjoys it, and please try and keep the videos on-topic ;)

LOL, I tried doing that about a month ago and it was not available.

How about IMG code? Will that be implemented?

Just wondering if it's possible to use the skip-to option around here? I've tried it a couple of ways but can't seem to get it to work.

You now can embed dailymotion videos as well.

If the video URL is "http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xawch7 ... rds-2_news", enter

Code: Select all

[dailymotion]xawch7_backtrack-mtv-europe-music-awards-2_news[/dailymotion]
It would then display like this
