Is it possible to embed a QT movie/player (from my webpages) in a post to the forums? Seems like I should be able to as I can display images... but I can't figure out how to do it, I can only post a link to the video which would defeat my idea.

Thanks in advance for any info.

No you can't. You can show gifs though.

Animated gifs, that's it.

Gosh, it would be a nightmare if people started posting Youtube videos here

Yes, because the lounge is sanctum of good taste and the sparing, elegant use of graphics.

That being said, I'd hate it if by just clicking on a link within the forum, we could get porn, etc. etc.

No thanks. Just post a link.

Too bad my whole point was to use an elegant graphic (video) in a marketplace post:

See it Here

what could be more elegant?

Seems like since we can embed images we should be able to do vids -- you would still need to be registred to post.

Is there a huge difference between still porn and moving porn -- well maybe the later is more likely to make you cry? ;-)

Yes, it's called audio and video.

There is NO NEED to have it embedded. NONE. Just link to it and let the people on the forum decide weather or not it's going to be viewed.
