This forum needs to enable the embeddablility of Youtube video. Embedded Youtube videos have a play button in the middle and don't play until they are clicked, but then they play without the need to open a new window.

I don't think there is porn on Youtube, and the embedded player is a dimmed screen before you click it. So it's at least better than an embedded porn picture would be. New technologies shouldn't be disregarded just because they could be abused.

I'm not even sure that the forum software has the ability to embed videos. I don't recall seeing any available tags in the Admin control panel that would allow it. (Though there is doubtless a plugin for it.)

The only way to allow it right now would be to allow HTML, but there's no way we would even begin to consider that.

But in the mean time: what's wrong with a simple link to the youtube page?
