Do you want to see media parsing happen without having to use media tags (just paste the link)?

OK, this might not have anything to do with this thread, but they tell me the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask :roll:

So how come I've been getting the YouTube previews in my thread for Door Kickers 2, up until the latest post which now only shows the link, not the preview. Am I doing something wrong? Did something change?

Try edit and save. Likely you were a victim of bad timing.

Never mind, I fixed it by not putting a carriage return ahead of the link. Weird.

Fwiw, we're not. We're voting on auto parsing.
Fine. Have it your way! I'll just mute my tabs.

Funny - we all chimed in on each others' posts, even though it wasn't a thing.

That's what happens when we get rid of the fact checkers.

Auto-parsing just means the media gets loaded within the post. Auto-playing would mean the media would start autoplaying on entry to the thread, which has never been the case on the forum.
