An embedded YouTube button.

That is all.

I think he means the functionality to embed video clips in the forum pages.
Like an [object] BB code or something. It's been awhile since I've played with phpBB so I'm not sure if they even have that feature or what benefits/problems can arise from using it.

Damn Ed, sorry I never got back to this!

You need a button like this:

That produces a post like this:

Ed, it would be even spiffier if there was a way for it to appear to a router/server that the data was coming from WB.com instead of YouTube. (For those of us who have it blocked...) But, I know that's really not your issue so I don't mind if you say "eff off."

I could see this being good - but it would have to be domain specific - IE from YouTube and other reliable content sources only.

Ed I can look into this as I need it for The2001.com too. It isn't as simple as allowing embed in the CP (and even though it actually is this technically simple, I think we should go YouTube specific as the original poster mentioned)

I nominate google video, cuz no one can block google.com!

I have not looked into the forum software but I bet they have something for the youtube button..

as for masking where the data is coming from I am not sure that the forum software will do that.
