How do I embed a video in a forum post instead of just having the link? I want the video to show up on my post not just the link.

Why not? It's a simple implementation, actually I think it's allowed by default did they make you not allowed to embed videos on purpose?

Theymos can you allow us to embed videos please?

I read some posts long time ago mentioning embedding videos is disabled, and you can only put the links in your post for your readers to click and watch the videos.

Allowing any kind of embeded objects would open up too many risks. If someone were to embed a Flash object that secretly uploaded a trojan into your computer, it would compromise anyone who'd go to that thread.

The feature is present in SMF, but disabled in these forums for security purposes.
