What, read directions? He'd lose his Guy Card!

Well since he did not intuitively know how to add the tags I think he may have already lost it.

Well I'll be dipped. I had no idea any of that was documented.

I mighta Googled for it.

I just installed my new HDTV and Home Theater. I did actually read the instructions...Ok, in some cases I skimmed and read the parts I needed.

BTW, that's one of the secrets of us old computer guys. I laughed with Ward Christensen hisself when he told of impressing a co-worker by knowing stuff he got by reading the docs. (Yes. We do know each other personally. Are you impressed? )

Unless my work comp has some cache issue, they seem to link to the same vid regardless of passed value. Maybe I'm using it wrong or there's a slight issue with the code in the vB coding.

Don't think so.

Would not have helped.

Custom BB codes like the YouTube, Yahoo and now Onion video embeddings, the

Spoiler

spoiler tag

, etc, are limited to those instances of vB that implement them, so you have to check each specific instances documentation.

I stealth added onion and spoiler recently, and waited to see who'd find it.

 

[gprellwitz]

Don't think so.

I wonder who it is that I'm thinking of, then. One of the computer gurus from that era (who's not on this board )

Oh, yeah. You're thinking Chuck Forsberg (Zmodem). He used to be around with us on the aviation boards.

Phil Greenspun, too.

Yup, Chuck is who I was thinking of. You can see why the fog of time had me confuse him with Ward Christensen!

I think the embedding might still be broken - On both of them, I get a video about Diebold leaking election results.

You're right. Weird. If you follow the first URL you get the right story:

I haven't watched it, but were they leaking them BEFORE the election?
