Links to YOUTUBE/DAILYMOTION/VIMEO.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea for this forum tae have a straight forward link tae copy/paste stuff from those kinda sites (and others) onto TSD.
Have tae admit,it’s the first message board I’ve ever came across that doesn’t have a link for those sites.
Over tae you admin,cheers.

No.

Asked and answered. Too bad I’m not a mod/admin.

In what ways can we not post links to other sites?

Are you talking about embedded video? Never gonna happen.

Aye,and why not,is it a big deal or whit.

No, we’re not going to do that. We’re trying to keep the board simple-looking that’s not how we want it to look. And there’s really too much potential for abuse from jerks and spammers.

Big picture answer, this is a board for discussion. If you want to talk about a video, talk about it, and provide a link to it.

If you just want to have a video that people can view by opening the thread, no, that’s not going to happen. Blame a bunch of people posting to the board about 10-15 years ago. Same thing for embedded pictures.

There’s just not very much need to allow embedded video here. Embedded pictures could be useful in some contexts, but video - not so much.

I get the pic mate,sadly there will always be nutjobs out tae ruin a forum.

Gotcha now,tbh it’s no big deal though i like clicking on some person’s song instead of going straight tae You Tube and so forth,cheers anyway.

You say that now, but until you’ve seen my animated goatsee video you don’t really know if it will be useful in context, now do ya?

I sort of do.

Are you from a parallel dimension where ‘to’ is spelled ‘tae’?

Scotland.

If ye ever care tae look outwith Noo Joyzy ye might find that life does in fact exist.

Cheers Pat.:smiley:

We know. We’re trying to make their lives harder, not easier. :wink:

I come here to avoid embedded video.

BTW, I have never seen anyone type with an accent before. It’s kine-a funny, donchano.

OP,

If we do that, comments section will resemble imdb and youtube. We are fine the way we are. Thank you very much.

We had a thread recently about why people don’t want to read books written in dialect.

Don’t bother to search. I’ll give away the answer. Because they are exactly this annoying. :stuck_out_tongue:

Although they don’t usually type that way… excuse me, I mean “Och, they dinna type tha’ wee, lass.”
