zlim 1,217 Posted May 11 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,088 Posted May 11 Unfortunately, I do not think that you can change that behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,088 Posted May 11 Yeah, I seen that entry but I was referring to a per user change instead of globally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted May 11 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted May 11 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted May 11 Also, if folks aren't too lazy, they can always hyperlink the vids like this: Steam - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye So... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zlim 1,217 Posted May 12 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted May 13 What typing? You COPY from the YouTube vid page and PASTE here. Easy peasy! Bob Marley - Don't worry be Happy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted May 13 P.S. NOT Bob Marley. Marley didn't write nor ever perform this song. Share this post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunrat 2,263 Posted October 11 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,572 Posted October 12 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

securitybreach 11,088 Posted October 12 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
