Suggestion to administrator of this site.
Please make embedding pages in threads a banning offence.
The use of embedded webpages is really, REALLY, REALLY annoying. Especially pages with video, or audio that automatically play.
I could post a huge rant about this, and I am sure a few others could as well.
It's really bad manners to make the people who read your threads/posts have to reach for their speaker controls.
Is it that hard to just post a link, and a description of what people can expect? I know it's fun to try out all this new code and gadgets, but it is very annoying. I have had this happen on numerous times where someone embeds a you tube clip...and all of a sudden, there is noise, voices, coming from a page I am not even looking at , or want to look at.
People. Come on.
I hate to be an web etiquette nazi, but use your heads before embedding webpages.
