Suggestions about Youtube-embedding [prev pic toggle pane]

Post by Toti »

It's odd to leave open this kind of threads, isn't it? :???: O_o :S

Anyway I save the PM if it's OK to have a little chat here. :-P

I think it may help if you expand the point 2. ;) Despite it's quite easy, :rolleyes:
learning to detect where is the video ID could not be in the compulsory education of some countries of the world.


And, in addition of the reason for embed yt I want to say Raw links always looks ugly to me (:o
It's like if you don't know were you will go before clicking, and in case of porn it's even more terrific 8O

I like the thing of the compulsory preview, that is good, but it would be better if it's posted directly with the img codes

Code: Select all

At least the post should looks a little bit more colorful :whoop:

I was talking about the previews. Some people do it, but some not.

For example, Sexysurgical usually don't do that, like here, in the Prem area. But other like the GX0 who is opening that thread usually post the previews attached. See the difference? If everybody do as GX0 it wouldn't be needed to open another tab or window to see it. Anyways I could understand if you say to force people to do that is interfere too much, yo, this should be a suggestion, posted in a different thread but I was just using that post to say something more about a similar problem,
and for the record I have nothing against Sexysurgical he is friend :tongue:
I don't know the reason he usually do that way, perhaps he's somehow ashamed if posting porn images directly in the forum 8-O

Edit: it isn't with the img codes, I assume it's with the option available in the bottom left "Upload attachment"
I didn't knew about that option in this forum O_o
That way I can share pics directly from my computer without uploading them to any host (?) :8up:
I always wondered how people could do that because when I quote any post with attached pictures apparently there is nothing, it's like if the pics are there due some kinda black art :lmao:

PS: I felt so sad because Pradagloves didn't read my advice or perhaps he ignored it. It's disturbing because since he doesn't hear the advices it may looks like he is trying to troll us, but at the same time he keeps adding youtubes links, if some are goods that could be understood as a help to the site. Helping and trolling at the same time, it's a paradox.

You can, but I actually still prefer you use a host. We have a limited amount of storage space on the server, so the less is uploaded to the forum directly, the better. Plus - I don't know if this is something other people experience, but I do at least - most pictures are links, which open in a new browser tab, and when I'm done looking at the picture, I close the tab. An attached picture, however, opens in the same tab. Out of habit, I sometimes close the tab when I'm done with the picture, and thus accidentally close the tab on which I was browsing the forum. :-/

Yeah, like I said, he's a lazy bastard. He just quickly posts a Youtube link, and then never looks at the thread again whether he gets replies or not. That's why I tried reaching him in other ways, but without luck. It's a shame, because he really does post good content lately. But don't waste your energy on him. He's my problem, and I'll find a way to deal with him.

Oh, and if you don't mind, I'll move these posts to the Forum Suggestions after you've read this. All this discussion kind of obscures the original message.

Cum on, gimme hug :whoop: :up: :8up:

Reason I don't post inline previews is because I don't want to ruin the excitement of not exactly knowing what the upload is. People can always choose to peek in the prev pics, how much revealing they wish it to be (snap vs. short storyboard vs. long storyboard).

Also agree w/ Rommie, opening prevs in seperate tabs, to then close them afterwards. Also helps w/ computer memory, the tab has been disposed off.

I can see the frustration of having to open new tabs. Maybe we should develop a JavaScript (i.e. jQuery) pane that shows and hides externally hosted images. That's how many big xxx sharing forums do it. Imagebam and Imagepost for example have explicit links for this. Pretty much all the others as well.

That sounds pretty good to me. :-)
