Yeah, considering the forum doesn't even have embedded images, I don't see why embedded videos would be allowed.

There is a firefox extension. It basically expands image links and video links in forums like ours. I forgot the name of it though.

It's not that fusetalk doesn't support user HTML and all the goodies you see on other forums, because it does. It's just that the higher ups have disabled all those advanced features.

Only top-moderators can uses and have done so in the past. Hot deals is a good example. I just wish they would change their ways some day and modernize what is supposed to be a forum for high-tech, yet it still persists and sticks with the low-tech ASCII 70's BBS approach to things.

I prefer it this way. It keeps the forums quick, clean, and less cluttered. Honestly, do we really need to become one of the eleventy billion forums out there where posters have giant, gaudy images in their signatures?

I hope it stays this way after the switch.

You must have a greasemonkey script or other add-on as that stuff is disabled here by default. I actually really like it being disabled by default, but I'd like to have my own personal option to enable embedding if I wanted to.

But a user control panel could allow people to select between old-style links and embedded stuff. Try using chrome if you want faster loads.

EDIT:

NO Greasemonkey scripts at play in my browsers.

Well, you can still keep signatures down to simple text and hypertext only. Adding images to the forum posts and replies would greatly enhance functionality. Limiting the thumbnail size to say <64k or 320x240 would be a nice compromise.
