| God I hope not - can you imagine the endless crappy videos (with nothing to do with snowboarding or extreme sports) some people would litter the forum with!?! It would be a nightmare. I think it's fine as it is... |

i dont know why anyone would do that just makes it easier on forum to embed videos.
heres an example http://forums.sidewalkmag.com/showthread.php?t=97&page=172
just means you dotn have to open another page.
but then i am only one perso nand if no ones else sees the benefit then theres not much point.
andi said mpora links so it would just be briitish "extreme" sports.
i tihnk it would be good for SCUK to buld stronger links with mpora like whitelines and sidewalk have. |

MPORA, Whitelines and Sidewalk are all owned by the same people - Factory Media, so they would encourage a bit of cross pollination.
As we've seen recently, the ability for people to post cr@p is ever present. Many work places will also block anything with video content and from our stats I *know* when most people visit the site 
Having said that we do have long term plans for people to be able to run their own galleries and post their own videos on here. For the moment, links are fine.

| Yeah, mpora and other video sites are blocked at my work with the result I can't open a lot of pages with embedded content - so that would be a big fat no to embedding videos on the forum from me. |

Another vote from me too if work blocked this site that would mean i would literally have to do some work, which i just dont think i could take!!!  |

I think we appreciate banning would be a problem, so we'd have to think carefully about doing this. If we had to decide between embedding videos and allowing more people to enjoy the site, we'd definitely go for the latter. No point in providing additional functionality and then reducing the amount of people who can access the site during their normal work hours  |

yeah, most companies seem to have banned all the networking sites so your at risk from going that way, i guess having that part of the site completely separate from the forum may allow you to continue to talk crap during work hrs and look at pics/vids during the night.
can peeps with an mpora work ban see the mpora forum MPORA FORUM?? but no joining though........ |
