Forum Update

[Jujimufu]

I upgraded the forums everyone. It was a bit more intensive than I had anticipated. I had to wade through countless updated templates to make amendments that you guys will never see to preserve functionality. I also updated some counters (some of which took several hours!) / For your patience I decided to reward you guys with a new feature. You can now embed youtube or google video into your posts.

[ gvideo="3011321663930966226" ]Paul Gilbert - Scarified[ /gvideo ]*Just remove the spaces in the BB tags and voila. Note that the videos are buggy when you preview the post, but it works when you simply post. Finally, clicking anywhere in the video box other than the 'PLAY' buttons will take you to the youtube or google video website. Overall, works like a champ though. Here is the result of each:

DO NOT EMBED VIDEOS IN YOUR SIGNATURE OR I WILL RUIN YOU! :ogre:

[kinetic]

Thank alot Juji, but why do you recommend against multiple youtube posts in a thread?

[Jujimufu]

Simply because it will be a little annoying. :ogre:

[simon]

yeesssss!!!!

[alpha7158]

woooooo

[Swartz]

Simply because it will be a little annoying. :ogre:

I can't wait to see how many people will spam with streamed vids here.

[Jujimufu]

Simply because it will be a little annoying. :ogre:

Actually it probably doesn't matter at all, I'll remove that recommendation.

[Skilzat85X]

Wonderful. Great job I wasn't expecting this much malleability with it haha.

[tricker_d]

How do you put the video titles in the red part of the embedded video?

[Meegz]

wow, awesome, embedded video will make things both interesting and effectual.
:D

and yay for paul gilbert..... for some reason mr. big reminds me of chris jericho, which it shouldn't at all, but....yea.... :D

EDIT: trickerd, just read the code:

[ youtube="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whateverletters" ]insert title here[ /youtube ]

[Alexx]

[wakka2nice]

[Jujimufu]

Holy crap, that's annoying! I didn't think of that... And there isn't anyway to currently disable it.

[shengoikee]

i guess that could just be moderated or something

[Jujimufu]

i guess that could just be moderated or something

For the moment, yes. Seems like others who have this feature on their boards seem annoyed with it too, so it will probably be fixed in the near future.

[Sam H]

Good job! :good:

Must have been a pain in the ass to work that long. :dead:

[kinetic]

Haha, oh. So can you use this with any streaming site, or just youtube and google video?

[slik]

Eeexcellent! Thanks so much Juji! This site keeps getting more and more indepth and rich in content :shocked: :good:

[Electro]

ah great stuff! thanx juji
hmm ..can i PM u of more ideas to make the forum better?

[Tatsumaru]

Hm, although I don't like youtube or streaming videos much in general (for when I actually want to save the vid and view it in good quality), this can come in handy for the 'tips for your tricks' section especially. Cool feature :good:

[jiayo-chris]

Awsome job juji man, and paul gilbert is a true legend =D

[Lees Dragon]

Nice new feature.
Looks like you havent forgotten about this place Juji, nice to see some advances.
Its a treat to see you post around here!

[AJCN]

Awesome! We will all look out for people with it in the sig and tell them off! Don't worry :D

[Kyukodo Gaz]

Oh yeah! Good shit juji! thanks

[MasterSyrup]

JUJI your my hero, what are bb tags anyone? well your my hero juji

[Rudy]

huzzah!

[Hapkidoka]

Thanks Juji! I have seen this feature on various other forums I frequent and I had been hoping we would get the option here on TT soon. :good:

what are bb tags anyone?

bb tags are what you use to quote someone [ QUOTE=Tristan ]Your mom! That's what we're doing![ /QUOTE ] or to put an image in your post [ IMG ]http://goatse.cx[ /IMG ] (only without spaces), the new feature allows you to embed a Youtube video by copying the bb tags in Juji's example, put the web addy of your youtube video in the middle and make sure there are no spaces in the brackets and viola your video is embedded!

I was confused about this as well because Youtube gives an "embed code" that you can copy and paste in MySpace or whatever and I kept trying to do it that way but it wouldn't work... then I went back and read the directions. :ogre:

[Xavier]

Nice new feature! :good:

[Justin]

...what are bb tags anyone?
Bulletin Board tags. Tags of code specific to bulletin boards, to allow you to do quotes, smilies, link to other pages or files, etc.

They're handy 'cause a lot of forums don't allow HTML code in their posts, which can be annoying if you wanted to make a hyperlink to something.
