Hi there reader
Do you find this message annoying?
Why not register and make a post to get rid of it?

Hi folks,

The new forum software update means that you can now include videos from YouTube, BBC iPlayer and 180+ other sources straight into your forum posts.

All you need to do is paste the URL of the video (straight from your browser address window) and it automatically embeds it as video when you click POST. It's actually that simple!

This means that the Welwyn Hatfield Forum which already receives nearly a quarter of a million page impressions per month from local residents, will now become the natural location for audio and video news and updates as well as the written word and still photographs.

Here's how it looks:

Go ahead and post your own videos, but do remember that the forum agreement and rules also apply to audio and video material.

Enjoy!
Grant.

Just as a by the way -- following an upgrade to the modification which allows videos to display on the Welwyn Hatfield Forum, now when you include a link to a BBC news page which just happens to have a video embedded in it somewhere, then when you make your Post the video will display along with the hyperlink to the news page underneath. The URL link takes you to the news page itself.
