You can embed vine videos by using the vine BBCode and part of the URL to a vine.

For example, if you are looking at a vine with this URL:

You can use the vine BBCode like this:

1983

And get this result:

If you're really interested in following a thread you can do that in several ways:

1. Subscribe to it. You're automatically subscribed to any thread you comment in, but in addition you can ask to be notified by email of new posts in the thread, either immediately or once each day or once a week. Find "Thread Tools" on the top menu and choose the subscription option you want.

2. Go to "My Profile" and all threads in which you have participated show up. You can pick the threads you want to check up on. (There are lots of other things you can do on your profile page. Check it out.)

This is weird, I'm not used to board administrators being so helpful. No way this site lasts another year.

We like to think outside the box. Hopefully it catches on.

When are you going to drop that silly Disney Infinity image? Don't you know they stopped making that game?

Too soon!

But you're right. Time to move on. I will change it when I find something worthy.

As exciting as flow charts are maybe think outside the box this time.

I added support to embed videos from Vimeo.

To use, take the last part of the path off of the URL to the video:

2096

And put it between vimeo BBCode tags.

You can now embed gif images hosted on gfycat.

Take the URL to the file on gfycat.

2098

And put the last part of it between gfycat tags.

2099

I noticed that embedding tweets wasn't mentioned in the thread. Plus I need to test my changes to the mobile display.

To embed a tweet:

Get a URL from the tweet:

2111

Only take the number off the end and put it between twitter tags:

2112

Result:

Embedded tweets should show up in browsers on mobile devices now.

Nice work. Just a tip within the tip for those using Tapatalk, you need to be in web view to see the embedded Tweets. Click on a message like you would to reply to it, press "more" then "web view."

But I can't find any documentation on it. Although it appears I guessed correctly with the Twitter tag. That seems to work.

That will go away as soon as you pay your dues.

There is a drop down menu at the extreme bottom left of the screen. Change that to Utahby5 and it should fix it.
