Embed Youtube videos in your messages now!
saint:
You can now embed YouTube videos in your messages. Like any of the other BBC codes, simply surround the URL of the YouTube video with youtube /youtube brackets, like this:
--- Code: ---[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/xyzabcdef[/youtube]
--- End code ---
And you should get something like this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NQBFWx3UOk[/youtube]
Thanks to McCoy for the suggestion and Stingray for pointing out the mod :)

Wow... two major cool features rolled out in one day. Nice work! :cheers:

Heh, thanks! SirWoogie told me to stop being afraid to add mods, he may come to regret that!

A question on the youtube mod... does that stream the video directly from youtube, or does it route the data through your servers on the way to the client? That would be my major concern. If it's somehow coming through your server that's a major bandwidth issue, and if it's not, that's creating a drain on youtube's server for no gain to them (old school don't steal my bandwidth style).
I realize that in order for this to have worked youtube must have provided an API for it and thus is in on it, just curious as to the implementation.

Just like a photo tag it links to an off-site server. No additional bandwith for the forum aside from the extra text required to make the link.
