I frequent another forum utilizing vBulletin.
On that forum you can hover your mouse over the thread title and it will preview the text of the thread. Only for a few seconds but enough to get the general idea.

All too often you see a promising new thread and open it only to find it isn't worth reading...

Preview would be helpful especially since at work (and even at home to an extent) with all the new firewalls and security and crap things are starting to bog down.

Hey...

It would be a good option, but it can also be fairly annoying.
However, the benefits outweigh the minuses...
Get it.

Also youtube insertion.

How about making it an option...

Pretty sure this was discussed and the owner doesn't like the extreme excess bandwidth needed to do it.

Allright...
It sure is handy though.

This would be nice seeing as how the number of new threads just for youtube vids has grown drastically.

or could we just get another forum strictly for youtube posts? I'm really starting to get fed up with opening a thread being semi-interested in the topic, then only to find that its a youtube link.

You tube insertion is easy, i already have a custom plugin thing developed for another client i will gladly give to Aaron to use. 2 second installation.

Even if you do the youtube specific thread I guarantee you folks will still post outside of it.....so why bother?...D

Exactly.

I have no problems with youtube, I just hate having to click links.
On farkin, there is a youtube embed button which installs the video's cover picture in the post. Click on that and it starts playing. No more pesky links!
