A place to share practical knowledge

test of vimeo embed

For the newbs to ask questions. Note there really isn't a question/answer section other than this. The forums in general are supposed to be practical knowledge shared by experts, not custom free tutoring for all - we simply can't do that - there aren't enough of us. So, new guys can post here and if you're good, our moderators will "promote you" to being able to post on the rest of the site. It you're a bot, totally inactive joiner, or just a luser - this is where we find that out too and say bye.
Forum rules
REAL NAMES ONLY. This is a legal attribution issue. I don't care what nick you use everywhere else. Obviously fake names will be removed immediately.
If qwerty1337 posts an idea, anyone on earth can claim to be that guy and take credit - is that what you want? Or worse - qwerty can claim it was really his idea more easily. Feel me here? This is for adults.

This is a place for newbs to find their feet. Most of this board is for answers, not questions - read the title, it's a place to share knowledge, not a custom tutoring site - we don't have resources for that, and it destroys the signal to noise ratio with almost the same questions over and over from people who won't be bothered to read first. Posts on this forum will self destruct in 20 days unless a moderator wants to keep them around (and maybe move them elsewhere here).
IF you have a suggestion for where you think we should put your post in "the book" part of the forums, put that on the first line of your post. We might read it, you never know, and if you put up a couple of good ones, we might make you a "Real" member here with full privileges. Most of this board is post-grad kind of info, not grade school. That kind of thing will mostly stay here in playpen.

I want to allow embedding vimeo videos...who knows what will happen with that other service.
I'll use a Jeff Quitney video here. He had his youtube channel - huge and all public domain, restored from old films - just wiped out. For ???. Politics I try to stay out of (here).
But that's just low and BS. Jeff was doing us history buffs a positive solid. Not just the cute commercials, a real taste of the world I grew up in - and earlier.
In fact, I'm downloading ALL of my own youtube videos right now, because under their new terms of service, I'm probably not "commercially viable". Word to the wise.
Hope for the best, but plan for...

This? - video button generates fixed size here: (help says youtube url but reality says any url for a video works)
example
Code: Select all
[video]https://vimeo.com/369849742[/video]

phpBB [video]


Sizedvideo, 800,600
example:
Code: Select all
[sizedvideo=800,600]https://vimeo.com/369849742[/sizedvideo]


phpBB [video]


OK, my work here is dung.
In theory (not tested yet) these work with a yourube url too.

A link to where I found the version that works:

Posting as just me, not as the forum owner. Everything I say is "in my opinion" and YMMV -- which should go for everyone without saying.
