What do you mean by "video links"? I'm assuming you don't mean the url to a video on YouTube or some other site.

If you want to link a video, get the Embed Code from under it on youtube (Click "Share" then "embed" and paste that code in a post here).

For images, put these tags around the lnink:

If I want to know how to post other things than just words, and don't know how to, I always "quote" someone.

See what's written in the quoted post, and try to learn from it, this is really helpful.

For youtube videos, you have to just copy and paste video URL in your post.

For other video sharing sites, get the embed code and paste it here.

Update

You won't be able to post videos using embed code any longer. If you want to post any youtube video then just copy and paste the URL in your post and the video will automatically get embedded.

If you don't want youtube URLs in your post to be converted into embedded videos then uncheck "Automatically parse links in text" in Additional options section.

Sorry, but keeping html enabled is always risky. In fact, of all forums that I visit, this was the only forum where html was still enabled.

Btw, I want to do something different than keeping it disabled completely on all forums. I mean the reason I kept it enabled because I trust members of this forum and I didn't see any problem in many years except for minor glitches. So, any suggestions for what could be done in this regard?

I don't see any problems here... youtube videos are displayed regardless of html, why would someone still want to include a video the old way?

Yeah I understand that HTML can be abused, no need to be sorry.

What if HTML was enabled in the Off-Topic Section and the Alizée Media Section? That might be good. Like you said, all of the members here can be trusted, but in the unlikely event that someone wants to mess up the forum then it would only be possible in a few sections so it wouldn't disrupt the main discussion forums. I don't know if allowing HTML in a few sections would make the rest of the forums vulnerable though… I'm not an expert on all that. :dontknow:

enabling html is always dangerous and should always be disallowed. It's better to prevent than to cure. I'd just wait a few days and see if there are any good reasons to enable html again.

Sometimes a person wants to embed a video or a music player that isn't from YouTube. YouTube blocks a lot of stuff, some people choose to upload their personal content to Vimeo or wherever and you don't really want to re-upload other people's stuff to YouTube, whatever…

I understand your problem. But, like most other forums, you could place a link to that video. I don't think I've seen many forums with support for other videos than youtube. I personally think that security outweighs this minor annoyance. But that's my opinion, and I'd like to know how other people feel about it.

I think we can have similar way of posting videos from all major video sharing sites.

Another option is to enable restrict html for members on the basis of number of posts. For ex - members with 500+ would be able to use it or something like that.

Yes! Restrict html 400 posts would be ideal :) but please put it back

I think these are both good ideas that could be implemented together. Even if you allow HTML for users with sufficient posts, it would still be good to have video support for users with low post counts.
