I'm just curious as to whether or not you've taken into consideration the complications of having so many ads, from Google's standpoint? AdSense only allows 3 ads per page. On page 9 alone there are 4 ads, with the option for up to 6. Unless you've figured out some kind of special work around, this strikes me as a direct violation of Google's AdSense policies.
Also, what are the chances of getting the images removed and making the YouTube-accompanied ads text-only? Images do bring in more money, but they're tacky as hell, especially all over a post. This is the only PB forum I ever even visit, so it's not a big issue with me, but it's simply distracting in a thread. Moreso than the video.

Also, what about disabling the videos in your profile like images can disabled in the profile? If you can disable images, why not have the ability to disable videos? I hope you don't refuse to give us that ability just so you can make more money off of the ads.

I can see how this would be a great assent for people... But it just leaves more things for admins to check for censoring. Not to mention copyright issues - half the stuff on YouTube breaches copyright. YouTube has an entire section dedicated to helping content owners remove objectionable material from their site. It's not hard to get a video taken down if a copyright holder objects to it. Patrick

I wanna try! I wanna try! Judging by the preview button, it works. Also, I think DD's idea of having the option to choose not to display them would be good. Maybe make it so that instead of embedding the video, it just shows the link if you have videos disabled. And, um... The flash ads I get next to the videos are killing me.

Frankly when I saw this today I never thought that it would be any help to our board and was going to find help in getting rid of this option. But I just found that there are and amazing number of videos and book trailers as well as interviews by authors that I can now have on my sight quite easily
One question, and it may have been answered somewhere in here, will it slow sites down to have too many of these posted?
Again I'm just amazed that this will actually help my forum! Thanks.

It shouldn't because they don't load until clicked on

Nope, I meant that if you've purchased credits to remove advertisements from your forum then it also works for the Youtube videos as well. Pat said it was pretty obvious in a PM however I never assumed it'd happen It's a superb update That's great! I would never have thought there was a connection between the ads. That is very good to know~Thanks

I just noticed the related videos are embedded too. Not all of those are appropriate, so I dunno if you have plans for embedding without related videos or not.

Is there no way to stop the video+ads from stretching the page, by default? I mean, rather than having to make a code to do this. Some of us really hate the width stretching, it looks horrible.

I think I recall Pat saying that you need to use the code to resize it. That's stupid. The video is built-in, so anything else for it should be too. I guess this wasn't thought out properly. So, what is the code? I mean, where is it?

There's a button for it in the UBBC buttons where you see bold, italic, underline etc I'm confused. I don't see any bbcode to allow me to resize the youtube video and ads.. If you are referring to using the size tags, then that doesn't work, either. But I don't think that is what you were referring to. If you were trying to say that the actual youtube is a bbcode, then I know that, I wasn't asking where it was, I was asking for some sort of resize code.

You are not allowed to resize the ad. You can resize the video if you want.
