Post by Spidey »

Is there a way to force the board to display embedded YouTube videos as a link?

TBH there's probably a greasemonkey script and/or browser extension/plugin that does this. As i can imagine a lot of people* would prefer it as a part of their universal internet experience.

protip: read the OTHER posts in the thread, not just the last one. Someone might have written something before the last post.

flashblock makes it so you have to actively click on a place holder before the flash plugin loads.

I assume that what you want to do.

I see…I just placed this site on my restricted list…it’s not what I wanted, but it works.

This site has a Flash blocker, but I am going to assume it only works with the embed tag.

Thanks anyway.
