For those who dont read in Wired World, here is some progress on embedded video/YouTube on The Motherboards.

Though links TO YouTube videos abound on the Moboards, we have been waiting for Infopop/Eve to upgrade our software to permit embedded videos (the kind that show up right in the post.

They have been promising this for over a year and a half now, and needless to say the subject has become a sore spot over on the Infopop/Groupee/Eve message boards. Many community admins (like myself) are impatient with the slow pace of including embedded video. We understand the security risks, but it has been far too slow.

As a workaround, it seems that Community Admins (that would be me) have been granted the right to embed video. No other users have as yet, but hopefully that is coming.

There are some peculiarities about this workaround. One seems to be that the video clip must come first in the message, the second is that no regular links seem to work when there is an embedded video in a post.

So for now, we will go in and add the tags needed whenever we encounter a YouTube URL.
So, just keep posting your links and comments as you did before, and do send us a shout on the mboards @ jackiefactory.com addy if you've added a YouTube link of special interest or urgency.
Include a link to the topic that contains your video.

Enjoy! And hopefully soon you will be able to do this for yourselves.

I am happy to answer questions here..
