zlim 1,255 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Every time a YouTube video is posted, instead of the link, the video is embedded. Some pages take forever to load. I'd prefer NOT to have the YouTube videos embedded. I looked over my profile and settings but there doesn't seem to be a way for me to not load the videos. Is this possible? Perhaps I need to change something in my browser for this site. If so, can someone point in the proper direction. (Palemoon and FF ESR are my daily browsers). Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,506 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Unfortunately, I do not think that you can change that behavior. Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,506 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Yeah, I seen that entry but I was referring to a per user change instead of globally. Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Sorry, due to editing error, I deleted a posting above. I'm going to repost it now... ___ Quote 051120 Turned OFF auto-embedding of videos/links as per request of member zlim. ___ We'll see how this goes with everyone else. It's sort of a democracy here, so if no one screams too loudly, we'll let it stand. How's that? Fair enough? Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Anyway... Embedding or not doesn't make a diff to me, so you folks just talk it out and let me know how you want it. Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Also, if folks aren't too lazy, they can always hyperlink the vids like this: Steam - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye So... Link to post Share on other sites

zlim 1,255 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks Eric. I appreciate it. At some sites when I notice the YouTube is embedded in a post I make, I put code tags around the link so people have the option of viewing or not and don't have to wait for it to load. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 What typing? You COPY from the YouTube vid page and PASTE here. Easy peasy! Bob Marley - Don't worry be Happy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've had some requests from members to turn the YouTube embedding back on. Would that aggravate you greatly? If so, speak up. Maybe we can find a setting in your browser or Profile that could block the embedding just for you? Let me know... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sunrat 2,339 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm pretty sure Privacy Badger could block the embedded videos but leave a box saying it had blocked and to click on it if you'd like to view. Works like that for other sites like Vimeo, Spotify, Soundcloud, Disqus etc. I'd really like to have embedding back as too often bad videos are posted with no description so I can't choose to avoid them as I would if a preview was shown. Sort of the opposite problem to you @zlim Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If you guys can find a way to assist @zlim in a way that would be OK to all involved, that would be great. Let me know... Link to post Share on other sites
zlim 1,255 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Put 'em back Eric. I just won't look in that thread. Problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,506 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I’m actually surprised that you don’t use one of the many extensions/adding that block video until you click to play. I used to use them to block auto play videos. Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,731 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Alrighty... YouTube (and some other vids) should now auto-embed once again. Have fun, folks! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
