  • An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Youtube video embed sync-up

It inordinately bothers me that the video embed capabilities can't handle it when the poster uses the "start at x seconds into the video" option.

For instance, if I have a 5 minute video, but only the last 20 seconds are relevant to the discussion at hand, I'd want the video to start at the 4:40 point, but the embed media posting function can't handle the "?t=280" that is added to the end of the web address. This SEEMS like it would be an easy fix for the coders, though I am not an expert and can only speculate.

Thanks for reading.
 
Probably touches Xenforo internals, which we can't easily alter just as admins.

There's always the brute-force option of just putting in a link to the Youtube URL, with the right timestamp.
 
Yeah, it can definitely be worked around, it's just annoying, and confusing to people first trying to post with a start point and not knowing why their link failed to embed.
