    Because it would be annoying.

    If I could change one thing about this board, that would be it. I really wish we could post videos.

    On message board usually (never used this one as an admin) you can allow just some type of html tag. So they probably could allow just the embed tag or whatever is needed by youtube to make it work. No need to allow javascript and other tag...

    I think they can do it on millarworld, but this board is so much better

    They could create a Youtube BB code that allowed you to just post the url of the youtube video (ex A). This would still keep HTML to OFF but allow embedded videos. The problem is it would allow any video from any site. Unless of course they did the code to only allow you the trailing end of the video to force it to be YouTube (ex B)

    Ex A: [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU[/youtube]

    Ex B: [youtube]eBGIQ7ZuuiU[/youtube]

    it's nice, but really not needed.

    Plus it brings the question of displaying copyrighted materials into play.

    No more so than being able to post photos.

    Simple reason.

    Most work sites block You Tube because it drains THEIR bandwidth.

    So, it could potentially cause the board to get blocked for some visitors.

    I'm definitely opposed to it. I'd probably have to stop visiting the board.
