It seems a lot of sites are using a lot of video. People like the moving pictures. Would there be a way to show videos directly on this site without linking to youtube? I probably wouldnt be doing a lot of video stuff but I bet some in this area would. And people not in this 513 community browsing would probably prefer clicking on a video rather than hitting a video link. Some tuts and wips and batreps on video would be nice.

Well, the bad thing is, we'd have to host the files if we wanted to dish them out from here, and I'm pretty sure we aren't set up for that. But, a good alternative would be to embed the youtube video in a post, like so:
If you watch a video on Youtube, and you click on the "Share" button at the end, another button below the video appears called "embed" click on that and it gives you the code to do what I just did above, and youtube does the hosting and the dishing!

Yea like that would be good. Possibly a video section in forum but videos would have to be presented in that particular format. Its better than seeing a link and having to click on it.

BTW- I guess when you hit embed it would be the same as posting pics but what would come up would be the vid instead of a pic?

Not sure if we can create buttons, if that's what you mean. But, I can probably go through and make a tutorial about how to create, upload, and embed on Youtube, if you feel there would be a need for it.

I would use it. Not sure about others. Even if only to present vids from other sources on this forum it would be helpful. Thanku. It will be a couple hours before I can reply again.
