... Notifications The link to these seems to relative to the profile URL, so unfortunately I can't put a global link on the top bar that'll link to notifications for everyone, cause it'd only ever work with whatever profile I linked to ... I may have a way of doing this! I should be able to resolve the profile URL based on the $[current_user.name] element, then append the notification link onto the end of this to make a dynamic URL which is unique to each user. Will try tomorrow! Edit: It worked! We now have a notification menu! This took all morning, but man that was worth it It's like I've solved some great big puzzle :-P Don't forget I made an agony aunt board cause I know you expressed interest in writing a thread

Curious if there is a report button or something. I don't see one, but I may be overlooking it.

Click on that and you have various options open up Let me know if things aren't working, or are missing entirely. I'm working down in the code where it's dark and lonely to make sure everything is chooching just right

Oh I'm glad I always worry about doing something that breaks the forum in some way that I can't see, but someone else can I have literally just a tablet and a phone, both running android to test the forum on, and that's it I can occasionally run tests on a windows desktop when I'm round My Amy's, but that's it. Video embedding on here has proven very capable Links themselves don't resolve into embedded objects, you need to use the video icon on the BBCode editor. It looks like this. (Wow can't believe that picture worked ) However the embed tag supports many more video formats than just YouTube, which really opens up video sharing to a much wider audience.

Yea that's what I meant. I clicked the icon, and put a link from youtube, and nothing showed up. When I click to edit the post it shows up, but when I click save it disappears.

Have you tried posting with both the BBCode editor and the WYSIWYG editor? I tend to have better luck writing things in the BBCode editor, then clicking over to the other editor to get a preview. Do you have a test thread up I can have a look at the code on? Edit: I found your video test post. That's one helluva video link! Something happened between YouTube and here because this is the link you ended up with https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCQQtwIwAWoVChMIway45u39xgIVw4oNCh2tVgLk&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DaVU0NnSoEKM&ei=tHm3VcGCDcOVNq2tiaAO&usg=AFQjCNG-8bj9KQ02qGnPQtyYShmd9AI5vQ&bvm=bv.98717601,d.eXY Your YouTube link is buried way down in there, it looks like, but the rest of the URL must have made the forum pitch a fit :-P Direct links to the video are what you need, in the form https://youtu.be/1LbLiLNYYXs
