Title: Limit YouTube videos in signature to one.
Post by: Reece on August 09, 2012, 01:36:59 am
While I like that we can now add YouTube videos to our signatures, that's cool, but having 2, 3 or more signatures is ridiculous. I mean 3 videos in one sig is bigger than 1920x1080 res...

Please limit it to one only and also allow custom sizes, or automatically make it quite small.

Oh also, would be cool if sigs only showed once per topic.

This, if you want a video linked to your profile/sig, then just post a URL in your signature.

Why do we even have videos in signatures in the first place? It seems some people never heard of links.

Actually 1 video looks pretty neat.
Not more than 1, not less than 1.

Having videos in the signature can be quite confusing...especially when your post has a video or two in it as well.

Made some changes.
If people can not use normal signatures, expect possibilities to embed videos at all to be removed.

Uh can you make it a bit bigger than that? As with some videos it wont work, try to play mine for example, tells you that the players is too small.

It must be 200x200px

Who does even start watching a video that someone has in their signature? Hell, there's a reason why it's called a signature.

Maybe a tiny bit larger? So we can properly pause them again? :D
Also not only signature videos are modified but also normal videos posted in topics.

The total of the signature should never exceed that op 50% of the profile space.

Ok uh, I'd rather not have the option in sigs than it being this small across the whole forum.

It never used to be that way, use another YouTube plugin? There are plenty of them.

I tired, it never would embed, only a link.

A link is all you need, if we want to see your video we'll click the damn link.

Or.. we could impose a simple rule: Don't put embedded videos in signatures...

You want full sized embedded YouTube videos? Don't put them in your signature.
Title: Re: Limit YouTube videos in signature to one.
Post by: Devin on August 09, 2012, 09:09:28 pm
True that, then if users still place embedded videos, just remove them.

There is an option to disable them entirely.

Yes, you can disable them entirely, but then users can't even post embedded youtube videos on the forum.

Does the option in the picture not refer to what is allowed to be used of signatures instead of what BB codes can be used for the entire forum?

FBI Forums use a different plugin, do they not? You have to use tags to embed, where as here you don't.

The picture is of signatures only. That area is to limit only the signature fields.

In all simplicity.

What is the pros of having a video playable in a signature?

Compare that to the cons, it all spells to one conclusion that its not needed in the signature. as I said if we wanna view the video, we'll click the link.

I can send you the FBI forums one we use if you wish. It allows customization fairly in-depth.

No need. We solved by reverting back to the old one we used before.
