is it possible for you to do that thing where you would go like this:
[flash](youtube video url)[/flash]
and then it would be like, whats it called? where you could watch it, like, right there? without having to click a link?

I know that PhBB can do this, the ums had [youtube],[google] and [flash] tags...

youll see it says the flash tags are off, and theres not, like, somewhere where you can just flip em on, or something, is there?

Depends on whether people abused it I guess.
We wouldn't do that, right guys?
Riiiiiiiiiiiight?

Even in my experience of two months on here, I'd say...YES. Yes we would.

Mobile Site:

Well, the first problem with that is that we need someone who can program it or work with HTML, and we don't have that, or at least someone at the level to do that. Second, consider the scale of Facebook; it's freakn' huuuuuuge! It's worth it, and makes sense, for them to have a mobile version of the site because people are checking it all the time, especially from mobile phones and internet. These forums, on the other hand, are used by only a handful of users (though a lot) so the cost doesn't really outweigh the benefit.

'Course, if someone wants to volunteer and pick it up as a side project, we ain't stoppin' them.

On another forum I frequent, embedding a youtube video in a post also has the result of an AD appearing right next to it. That's something I'm not all too thrilled about having, and will probably show up here, too, should we allow it.

What's wrong with a link? It's just one more click and pageload.

has anybody else noticed how it seems forum mods are online much more then global mods nowadays? It's getting to the point where it's rare to even see 2 global mods on at once, yet it's really common to see 2 forum mods at once. I think at least once a day I see Diss'on and CT, although I rarely see Buck, Dylan, Ebly or Foxstar anymore (although, to be fair, whenever they're online, they do mod everything out that needs modding).

I'm just wondering...why not give the forum mods more powers over the other threads? Only if they want the extra responsibility I mean...but, it just feels like it almost should happen. Let alone could happen.

(no disrespect for the global mods...maybe it's my timezone, but I only ever see Buck and Foxstar online...and even that's really rare...)

I don't know. Tell me what you guys think.

Seconded! I've seen this in past few days too.

I had no idea this was here. In another forum I visit, we have a "Chat box" Where people pretty much chat. Wouldn't that eliminate the need for a chat thread?

Alright, so, we told Rick about this lag problem, he's told his server guy. We'll have this fixed, "Soon," but thus far Rick hasn't heard anything back yet.

We all know how soon, "soon" can be, so it might take some time. We'll let you guys know.

I hate to say it...but you've just given excuses as to why it's not the global mods fault for not being online as much.

I'm just saying I see no reason why it wouldn't be more convenient to promote somebody. I mean, even if it's not really needed, it would still be a nice precaution. (and, to Diss'on, shouldn't it be the forum mods that back the global mods up? Since the global mods have more authority, then I think so.)

Report buttons are your friend.

I suppose this isn't technically site feedback or a suggestion, but it seems like the best place to ask. On the list of global moderators, there is one person named inaki. They have exactly one post, and haven't logged on since 2008.

So... what's up with that?
