I always enjoyed posting rappers from Canada and comparing them to their U.S counterparts, but i can no longer do that without Youtube.

How do i post Video links and get it to show and play on the PAGE?

Thanks

That sounds like a lame pastime.

Honey boo boo and her fury over non-fairfax related, spam posters who wanted to post about racist shit every 10 seconds.

Come to think of it, we were probably better of with the honey boo boo anti-spamware than the current yuckification and stabithication we have had to endure. One day we will be free of these trolls when graduate from highschool and have to work during the day at moving boxes from one side of the warehouse to the other. Til then, we must wait.

I agree. The lost ability to embed YouTube videos degrades the quality of Fairfax Underground. I'll sandbox adding the functionality back in as soon as possible.

Posting this link for myself to revisit later tonight: http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-youtube.html

Changes should be coming soon! I'll post the very first embedded YouTube video in this thread after I get it safely working again.
