Sometimes posts are blank?

If you use the INSERT IMAGE button, and choose URL, there's a "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checkbox.

A bunch of the images I post to the Laugh thread are timestamped in the URL, and the timestamp expires after a few days. Had I used "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" they'd probably be visible. But I wouldn't be able to post 15 laugh posts a minute if I did that.

when I want to post "time stamped" images I copy them to imgur instead, but same problem it would slow your posting process.

imgur is one of the sites specifically blocked on my network

Some sites are *really* getting annoying. There is a forum I no longer go to as they changed their use policy - if you didn't allow all their device fingerprinting, tracking, etc you couldn't post. Even just browsing got stupid with the screen taken over with "accept or else" BS So... I'll never go back.

They are youtube links. For example…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT9LavYMQrs

I copied and pasted the url. I can’t see it in my own post. Looks like this isn’t embedded properly since it’s a url. Same vid as a test below but linked as a VIDEO instead of url.

I can see only the second of the two links i posted above. The top one is just a blank area with nothing to click on.

Yep. That's a 'known problem'.

I think it was razerbeck had a similar problem about half a year ago, before I settled on my 'youtube layout'.

first line : title
second line : date, length
third line : [ video] youtube url [ / video]
forth line : y2u.be short url

which had the widest success ratio for GOC viewers. I think everybody said they could see something with that layout.

There's a thread here at GOC where we hashed out what 'could be seen'.

Oh-oh….some people are on to me.




I do this all the time. Mostly for sarcastic comments. If you pick up on it…there are points to be had.
