Alright, let's see if I can keep the temperature down to 70 degrees Fahrenheit*...

There's an user preference to disable flash, which obviously is broken.
Yeah, it's brokened. I have [flash] off and I still see the embed. Which isn't a [flash] tag, see the code box below...

If you have a problem with it, take it up with the admin. It gave me the option to post a video, I did, sorry if LYNX doesn't play it.
Agreed. Don't go eg. "that was a stupid idea" without proof it's stupid/useless/a pain/too modern for your tastes.

I'm not going to upload a video in some unused format so 3 people who have issues with "proprietary software" can use it.
Again, agreed. FLV is a very popular format for streaming video on the internets, so just because you, Brynet, dislike proprietary crap. You wouldn't have a problem with it at ALL if there was a fully functional free software plugin in the OpenBSD repos. It has nothing to do with the fact some may still be on 56K or low-speed ISDN. You sir, are a very predictable and/or patternistic (a Troyism™) zealot.
And besides, I don't think it started loading the video until I hit play.

There is definitely a way to utilize that BBCode tag to load external scripts.. clearly has Bad Idea written all over it.
What? Loading an external script using the [flash] tag? I was under the impression it just embedded .swf and .flv files... What he used was the [youtube] tag, which it practically a literal HTML insert, and as such, should be removed. Here's the code that shows up when I quote the embeds, for proof:
Code:
[youtube]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A90_V2VUr1A&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A90_V2VUr1A&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/youtube]
[youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bhv8hGZ2fSQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bhv8hGZ2fSQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]
Betcha it could be used to reorder the words in a page dynamically...
* That's room temperature for those who don't know.
