BLHTAZ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have already noticed some changes :thumbsup: Any chance that we are going to get the YouTube add-on so we can actually post / stream videos in the thread instead of using links to go off-site?

Qui Gon-Jinn Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I will look into the youtube deal. I will have to check on some other stuff. Biggest thing I am having issues is a request to link back to the main page @ www.comancheclub.com That may be an ongoing deal. Off to check on youtube deal...

BLHTAZ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The YouTube thing is sweet. I admin on another site and we had our webmaster load it. It allows the video to show & play right on the post just like embedding it on any website. It codes it like this... video url here Then there is no added load on this sites bandwidth as it is a stream :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I have been looking.. and it's rather heavy code to add.. I try not to mod code to much.. don't want to break this place :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't really understand the "coding" end of the site which is why we have a webmaster over there. He said it was not hard at all and only took a short time. I was looking at THIS not too long ago, but I just don't understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falder Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 One site I'm a part of automatically takes youtube links and adds the necessary [xxx] code to embed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james750 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Oh, and this has been driving me nuts for months, can you make links open in a new window/tab? :cheers: :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Oh, and this has been driving me nuts for months, can you make links open in a new window/tab? :cheers: :bowdown:Yea...for some reason when Pete upgraded the phpbb software the last time it started using the same window to open links instead of opening a new one like it did before. Now you haveto right click on the links and tell it to open a new window or tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qui Gon-Jinn Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'll have to look into that. the change this weekend was more of a back end fix. Short term solution.. ( And what I do because I don't even think about it) Run Firefox.. and on your mouse.. Click DOWN on the wheel.. (Yeah it's a button there.. try it) Part of my every day job.. I have to check sites for issues.. and out of habit as I troubleshoot.. I use the mouse wheel click.. new tab.. and off we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Per Pete.. we have eliminated the "Common Word" threshold on the search. Give it a go.. report issues. back to my regularly scheduled day of trying to get 10000 things done and only finishing 2.

BLHTAZ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The mouse buttons can be configured to make the different features work on which ever button you want. I have the magnify feature working on the little side button that used to be the "forward" button and the scroll wheel click splits up all of the open browsers in to little mini-screans on the monitor so you can see all of them at once. As for the links...it only takes half a second to right click and select open in new tab / window...you just have to remember to do it ;). Firefox is too much of a PITA for me...tried it...hated it.

mvusse Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I use a laptop as I sit on the couch. Touch pad, 2 buttons. No mouse, no wheel, no 5 buttons. Right click and move to "open in new tab" is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
