It opens in another window or tab. If you click on a link, it plays just the same as clicking on the embeded vid. If you leave the thread your vid goes away. Do you know what a task manager is? It monitors your memory usage. When I click on a thread full of embedded vids it spikes to 100% and everything slooooooows dooooooooown. A thread full of links does not. Just ask my friend Wasayo what happens when 50 youtube vids are posted on a page. |

User ID: 531442 United States 10/21/2008 01:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like it. It lets me choose quickly to close that tab and not waste time. If they really had something to say, they would post a brief description of what is in thee video and/or significant quotes from the video. Lacking either? No problem! Close tab, move on to another topic in which the OP had the courtesy to mention what s/he wants us to spend time watching. |

Spirit * Man !
User ID: 418811 United States 10/21/2008 01:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh i see....i forgot about that. I am sorry. You do have a point though. I shall keep it in mind. * ---V--- Man's symbiotic connection with the cosmos will be known and there is nothing which can stop that knowing. Because everything we all do everyday helps confirm that truth. It is just that we haven't reached the pinnacle of where it leads. But we will soon enough. We will either live or die with that knowledge. Between Heaven and Earth is us. Be brave young warriors in truth. [link to www.youtube.com] Only a miracle will save us now. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer German philosopher (1788 - 1860) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 531445 Netherlands 10/21/2008 01:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i did it i did it!!! woooo hooooo Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1338thanks! do you feel smart now? i am quite smart in some areas..not so smart in others. I simply asked to be shown.. obviously showing that I wasnt smart where embedding was concerned.. knowing how does not make me feel smarter... because believe it or not.. there are just as many posters that complain that the video wasnt simply embedded and just the link was given... thus.. a few posts down.. someone that does know how to embed will do it anyway... c'mon group... ya know its true!! |
