Am i the only one who has trouble with embded Youtube Videos? A lot of times i just see blank/white squares, so i have to reaload the sites.

Using Chrome 8.0.552.231 for Mac wit an Adblock.

thanks,doc.

doc, the medio embed codes we use are based on our internal media library. what you want to do is first add the video you wish to embed to the media library, then use the embed code assigned to it from the media library; so the embed code will look something like this [medeo]####[/medeo] ---only replace "medeo" with "medio" and replace the #### with the 4 digit medio code. i know it may seem time consuming or confusing at first, but is extremely simple and makes embedding videos and categorizing them far easier. PM me if you need help with it.

Is it possible to have collapsible replies in the thread. Say you go to youtube and the comment can have a sub section of comments condensed underneath specific to that comment. We could relieve a lot of the forum debates that spark by having them only file in a collapsible space under the initial post so it doesn't clutter it and derail the OP.

I'm not sure the limitations to this forum, but it's worth looking into.

also this is an EXCELLENT suggestion, especially paired with the alert system. is something like this possible?

lobo, i dont have trouble with embedding them myself. The videos people post from youtube etc. just appear white to me randomly, but a lot of times.

Check this out:

interesting. all i can say is to check here: http://www.8wayrun.com/threads/guide-adding-your-videos-to-the-media-library.6523/ and maybe add those videos to our library to embed them. those are coming straight from youtube instead of xenmedio. i don't really know, it may be a ram issue on your PC. i know my cell phone does the same thing if there are multiple videos embedded to one page.

sorry, perhaps jaxel will have a better answer for ya.

Ok thanks, shouldnt be a ram issue since i use a macbook pro with 4GB Ram.

i'll deactivate the adblock and see if this is still there....

EDIT: its NOT the adblock, switched it off. Same problem.

Can we add in collapsible posts for one's exceeding a certain length of lines? This way people who make long posts wont fill up an entire page and people who care to read them can get a snippet and expand if they feel inclined.

Add this and the previously mentioned function of nested conversations and we can handle a LOT of the threads that derail or turn to flame wars with out it impacting people who are discussing around it without need for mod clean up and judgment.
