Have you considered adding support for Youtube embeds? When I use the [youtube] tags with just the tail end of the URL it restores the whole URL instead of embedding the video...

Hey!
That was my first request ever was to REMOVE that obnoxious anti-feature.

BTW, the little graph bars for poll threads are illegible on the "old metal" theme, as the first bar is black on a black background.

Wasn't it omitted because page loads would get very slow?

I... never had an issue with it on Byuu's forum and I'm using an ancient CPU (though with videos performance is largely dependent on the video card and the number of videos simultaneously playing).

The website you linked to only consumes 13% of my CPU and 3% of the GPU.

I've had issues with some websites when I had a Geforce 760 video card like:
* Horizon: Zero Dawn website Multiple Full HD and HD videos auto-playing in the background and can't be paused, 100% GPU utilization and very high CPU utilization. Edit: looks like they've changed it so there's only 1 background video.
* Break image galleries. Often consisted of a lot of auto-playing videos per page so you'd have to scroll through pausing them all if you wanted any to playback correctly. Break is now dead.
* Endless scrolling Joyreactor website design. they ditched that a few years ago.

but it's no longer an issue since I upgraded to the Geforce 1070Ti (and I have very high expectation that a Geforce 1050 (non-Ti) wouldn't break a sweat either). Also Youtube video embeds don't automatically play afaik so other than the time it takes to load video players there shouldn't be much if any performance nor network impact until you click Play?

I did, to the point that I tried to stay out of threads I knew people were embedding videos into(particularly when dicking about on my ~~smartphone~~ datacard). Even worse when the network is acting up and everything is slow.

This was discussed on page 1 of this thread.

It's the loading time that's an issue. A page like this takes a few seconds, utilizes all 4 cores of my work machine to at least 50% (and raises their temperature to 70°C, causing the fan to spin up).

My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10

"Works on my machine" is not a excuse for polluting pages with endless video embeds.
Also: bandwidth. So sorry but no.

What about a compromise?
You make a page on this server entitled something like embed.php, taking a parameter ?v=XXXXXXXXXXX, where v is the youtube video ID.
This page has code something like this:


<a href="youtube.com/embed/XXXXXXXXXXX">
  <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/XXXXXXXXXXX/default.jpg" />
</a>

Then, posting a youtube link triggers the following, server-side
1) do GET to youtube to extract title
2) emit text as link to regular (non-embed) youtube, e.g. watch?v=
3) emit iframe to embed?v=XXXXXXXXXXX

If you click on the thumbnail, it gets embedded proper inside the iframe. Otherwise, it's just around 4kb/embed.

You could do all of this with JS, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be too popular. Likewise, you could proxy the embedded image to avoid leaking IPs to Google, but that's even more work. And the first two steps could be skipped, which would drastically reduce the work needed to implement.

Thoughts?

(You could also make embed.php fetch the title for you, but you'd end up making a lot of get requests unless you manage to cache it somehow)

Personally, I think youtube embeds are useless. If I'd want to watch something, I'd take the 0.2 seconds it takes to middle mouse click it and watch it in a new tab.

There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this.

This discrepancy should be gone now. The braces poll has its own custom bar colors, so I'd have to edit that in the DB to make it not black.

What's the point of exposing IPs on the "Online users" page? If you want to post, you either have to visit the thread or the login page. And any such visit exposes your UA+IP. By comparing the visit times ("guest with IP X browsed thread Y, then user Z opened that same thread"), it'd be trivial to get anyone's IP. Even if you don't browse as a guest but just go straight to the login page, you'd still show up on the logs.

I get it for bots, but why do it for humans if you don't do it when they're logged in? What about at least masking them, like masking "185.220.101.33" into "X.X.101.33" or ".101.33"?

Assuming it's even vaguely similar to that in the git repository, it'd be a very quick change to make in online.php:


if($showIPs) $guestList .= "<td>".formatIP($guest['ip'])."</td>";
//to (last 7)
if($showIPs) $guestList .= "<td>".substr(formatIP($guest['ip']), -7)."</td>";
//or (last two octets)
if($showIPs) $guestList .= "<td>".preg_replace("^([0-9]+\.){2}", "X.X.", formatIP($guest['ip']))."</td>";

(or just take them out altogether)
