I use PDA style at work because from a distance it looks less like a forum, and I tend to adblock most images once I've seen them to add to the effect.

Yes, I noticed that last night. I'll sort it shortly.

Something else I noticed about PDA style today - in the PM inbox, you can mark your messages, but there is then no option to delete them. You can delete them when viewing them individually, but not en masse. No major issue really, but something that could maybe get tweaked when teh codez are next being fettled.

Nearly, but the Yes button on the confirmation screen seems broken - it won't click and move on to the next page. I used "Mark All" and then unmarked a couple, if that makes any difference.

Birthday coding!

[media] tag now supports Liveleak, Vimeo, Escaptist and, in theory, any YouTube video link.

I was going to suggest that as a joke. Post your favourite beheading vids.

Oh, ok. I can take it off again if the content is particularly shit. It just seemed a fairly common alternative to break, which employs a silly linking scheme.

I don't visit it that much so don't know if it's really suitable, I just know it has some nasty stuff and was created by those that made Ogrish back in the day. I'm sure most of it's fine.

Yeah I think it's mostly idiot skateboarders faceplanting and such, not many decapitations.

Still, I'd prefer a warning and link then just a video, more likely to click it accidentally.

Looks do-able. Does anybody wish to second or vote against its inclusion?

edit: Done!

is there some size limit for stuff in meeja tags?

stuff often seems to end up a bit shrunk/scaled.

Videos are embedded at around 80% size. I found them a bit over-bearing at full size, especially on the disco board. I was considering having some funky javascript size toggle, but I think they all support full-screen mode now so I don't reckon there's much point.
