Can we have a YouTube BB code please?

One of the many things I don't like about this new feature is that when I'm scrolling down a thread, the scrolling stops wherever there's an imbedded video. To avoid this, I have to make sure the pointer is on the side of the thread, not in the middle, where the video would appear.

You can keep scrolling with YouTube5 extension if you're using Safari. I'm amazed at how much better the experience is with it installed. Google ought to be ashamed.

The code to change videos to links in quote posts seems to affect still images also. Quotes in the DP forum swap the image with an link reading "image". Is this intended or not?

I notice that too, not a big deal, just don't scroll near the video.

I agree.
Im sure people can survive without having to scroll with the pointer on the video

It's intended.

Auto-linking quoted images is another change we've wanted to make, and the time was right. The purpose is the same in both cases: to have a link instead of a video or image in a quote.

If you think a video or image needs to be displayed in a quoted post you can edit it back to the non-link syntax. In other words, you can have it either way, but the default behavior has changed. Images embedded with TIMG aren't affected, at least for now, since small quoted images are less of an issue than large videos or potentially large images.

Strange. I don't think I can embed any videos. Let me try it out in this thread:

EDIT: I see. It doesn't work if you use the whole link.

^^^It worked.
