We have upgraded the automatic media embedding feature. For the most part the feature functions as it previously did and automatically parses external url's and converts them into either inline objects or hyperlinks. Url's to the following content are currently supported:

  • Vimeo videos
  • Orbiter Hangar addons
  • Youtube videos - fixed, embeds Youtube video player
  • Wikipedia articles - new, embeds "W" icon and article title
  • Google Maps - new, embeds map viewer

Vimeo example:

Wikipedia example: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11"]Apollo 11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]


Google Maps example: [ame="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=sydney&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.766543,62.402344&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sydney+New+South+Wales,+Australia&ll=-33.844186,151.210327&spn=0.703749,0.975037&z=10"]sydney - Google Maps[/ame]

Enjoy!

That is the case at the moment. I'll see if I can find an alternative for you.
There already is: Just untick the "Automatically parse links" and "Automatically embed media" checkboxes.

Then links will appear like this:

Thanks Dave :tiphat:

For other people's reference, those options are not available from the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the thread. You need to go to main reply page to see those.
