    I added a new feature that will automatically embed videos into forum threads. All you need to do is paste the link to the video (IE: from YouTube) and when you submit the post, the video will automatically be embedded. The auto embedding will not work for all media types and you may be prompted to install a plugin to view the embedded video.

    The following is a list of the types of media you can embed:
    • You Tube
    • MySpace Videos
    • Google Videos
    • Bolt
    • iFilm
    • Meta Cafe
    • Yahoo
    • Daily Motion
    • StreetFire
    • RealMedia Videos (.RM & .RAM Extensions)
    • Windows Media Player Videos (.WMV Extension)
    • DivX Stage6 Videos
    • QuickTime Videos (.MOV Extension)
    • ESPN
    • MP3 Files
    Here is an example

    Pasting this link...

    Code:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=D2D2F2fjaHE
    ... will produce this
