I don't know. Why does it keep logging you out?

Did you do the stuff in this thread?

Spot of downtime there - apparently a router problem in the datacenter.

I think I'm going to move it to a new server in the new year. Helga is getting old.

Wait, yes she does.

I don't know whether this is of any interest to PERSONS CONCERNED, but I have a business account with Hostgator and can therefore host BEEX free of charge to you, sah, of course the domain owner would still need to take care of renewal duties and costs. If this if of interest to PERSONS CONCERNED please do let me know.

When uploading a photo taken with an iPhone in landscape mode, it always posts it upside down. If I turn the phone so the volume buttons are on the underside, it's fine, but then it's difficult to press + to take the photo. Is it possible that this could be changed, or is it just tough because the iPhone is stupid?

I've switched the YouTube embedding to use HTML5 as default. This should decrease load times for pages with lots of video on, but if anyone has any problems, let me know.

Here's a video chosen from randomyoutube.net for testing. Hope it's not porn!

It's no gaming calendar, but not bad. Thanks.

Can you make it so that you don't have to arse around with square brackets and finding the right bit of the URL etc?

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Oct 29, 2014 15:57

So it auto-replaces if you drop a link in? I thought about that, but then you can't not have it turn into a video.

Yeah, it's just so bloody fiddly to do on anything except a proper computer. Isn't there a mod for it so you don't have to faff around writing code?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22270

How about two options. The current one left as it is, and a youtube2 tag that will strip the gumph, will make it a little easier, but also give the option to paste a link without it being stripped.

I presumed he meant that you still need to put it in [youtube] tags but you can just paste the whole URL in. So you've still got the same embed/don't embed options as you have now but when you do want to embed the process is a hair less fiddly. Unless I'm misinterpreting something here?

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16560

No, I meant you can just paste a YouTube URL and it'll do the rest.

Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Oct 29, 2014 23:01

I could do that.

Can anyone think of a good reason not to?

NSFW videos, I guess.

They don't autoplay do they?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

No, but the default image might be NSFW

A quick Google revealed two ways to fix that. Pick your favorite:

Nuts. Best choose the first one, then

Given that you can't zoom the mobile site, any page with a video on is now pretty much unreadable, unfortunately

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Oct 30, 2014 11:09

Yeah, they are making pages difficult to read.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Oct 30, 2014 12:26

That should solve that. They might look oddly high on the mobile site, but that's not such a hardship.

Just cuts the video in half on mobile chrome. Text is the same size

Slam on your (hidden) refresh button.
