what are we allowed to embed?

[Deleted]

more specifically, are we allowed to embed:

flash?
video?
moving images (like gif)?

if we know how to embed it, are we allowed to?

and also, how do you make a list in vBulletin? i tried the old way from SMF, but that did not work.

You can embed movies from specific hosts. There's a list when you click the insert video icon.

You probably can't embed flash. Html is a definite no-go.

Lists are

Normal List

[LIST][*]ghj[*]hg[/LIST]


Numbered List

[LIST=1][*]hgj[*]nb[/LIST]

you can embed youtube video very easily

use the [video] tags with the full url, like so

[video ] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NABebQOb798[ /video] (remove the spaces)

then you get this



I'm not sure if it works with other sites, I haven't tried it myself.

I believe the ability for users to embed youtube videos is being disabled in the future.

I hope they keep the ability to embed youtube videos (90% sure you couldn't on the old forums though). It's a great tool in my opinion and kind of lowers the amount of rick rolls, other crap and extremely obvious keylogsites people click.
And I don't really see much difference between linking an embedded video and a screenshot, I think they use about equal resources. (an image is completely loaded for everyone viewing the page, an embedded video only has the preview loaded unless you activate it afaik.)
