Youtubes in sigs 

Post#1 » by WarFan » Sat Mar 20, 2010 2:29 am

Somehow they're autoplaying and it needs to be stopped. Look at this:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=101890
Thing autoplays every time you load a page he posted on.

I like the new ability to embed youtubes, but this is not cool.

Thanks.

Overall point still stands for the admins. Nobody should be able to put a youtube in their sig. Please block the ability to do so.

It will get done. Give it a little bit. Meanwhile, do the mods a favor, report anybody with a youtube sig. We're going to crack down hard if it spreads.

You could just make a thread saying that it isnt acceptable in each forum. I know its common sense but a lot of times its done for comedy. I wasnt going to keep the Rick Roll video for more than a few hours.

Posting about this exploit is the worst thing I could possibly do. It needs to be fixed before the entire community is aware of it. 99% of people will not abuse it. 1% of people, people like you, think it's soooo hilarious. It isn't. I've sent a PM to doug about fixing the issue, hopefully it will be soon.

The fact that they autoplay is what really pissed me off.

I had about ten tabs open at once and you'd posted in three of them and they were all playing. :banghead:

It has been raised with the admins; I'd imagine that it will be taken care of by the end of the weekend, and likely tomorrow.
