    Would it be possible to allow embedded videos from sites other than Youtube?

    Many sites offer a link to embed videos but I don'y think they work here.

    This link for instance:

    <iframe frameborder='0' border=0 width='425' height='344' src='http://pown.it/obj.php?ID=617' name=iframe scrolling=no style='position:absolute;' allowtransparency='true'></iframe>

    Fairly serious security issue doing that. Browser takeovers and such.

    Also embedded YouTube videos are almost guaranteed not to contain porn, which is nice.

    There's a lot of stuff on Youtube that would not be permitted on Boards.
    I wasn't aware of a browser hijack risk, so thanks for that warning.

    Hagar has a point, there's plenty of videos with people talking about or describing how to have sex, there's loads and loads of violence and there's also videos of women giving birth (and other related examinations ) . I think the latter requires a login and DOB verifycation

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
