Instead of posting the embedded link and the videos playing in the org. We should just post the link and not the actual embed because it can create an insane amount of cache clutter and can create a space issue on the disk. So in order to not have this problem, in the future we should just post the link and a description of what we are doing. Anyone with this idea?

I'm with it, I'm getting tired of scrolling through threads with embedded videos and the damn browser be freezing up. Fuck that, I'm posting the links again whether they're embedded or not!

Somebody using their schooling on the Org.

mikematronik said:

Not me... I didn't post a lot of videos and pictures... that's why I destroyed some of the threads.

I blame the Beyonce-brigade!

I don't get it.

I think what they're saying is when we post a youtube video so you can see the viewing window and watch it right here in the org it takes up way too much digital space and that is causing other problems with the performance of the site.

That makes sense.
I'll try.

I think it has more to do with the fact that dozens of new threads appear every day and people don't bother to check if there's already an existing one.

I see a lot of threads about songs appearing and getting 0 responses, what's with that?

:lol:it is true!!! at least mine have the advantage of giving knowledge on a matter little published and new
this forum neither has humor nor technological advantage...leaning that Prince has enough money to help to solve the problem of the space in the disk!!!and to support the popularization of groups little ears in the world; already enough of MJ... there are best and purer music; even if late as it consists

it's all mj's fault

An embedded video is still hosted by the source website, not by this website.

That's what I was thinking

GirlBrother said:

But what you don't seem to understand that an embed can also cause allocation of disk base by its buffering. And causing a huge cache problem. And I hate to keep waving my degree around. But as a person with a degree in Information technology I would think that my word would mean something. And as I try to continue to help this place out it would be helpful to the org and its moderators and most importantly the admin to take some time out and listen.

I sent the thread's link to Ben and fellow Mods - may be a good idea to undo the [youtube] post feature - I know threads with lots of them slow my cruising through down

Mach said:

Thanks Mach and as I still look it appears there a few people that don't get it. But when it does happen again. they'll want to listen and take preventative measures.

IAintTheOne said:

Ima honest one and can admit I do not know the part but ...

IF it can help is what I am invested in

IAintTheOne said:

Well... You would think that. But...

IAintTheOne said:

Right...

Hopefully they can read as well as listen.
