PROTIP: How to never fail at embedding a video/picture EVER again

There's a nifty little button next to the "Create Thread"/"Reply" button. It says "Preview" on it.

Preview: A foretaste of something; An advance showing of a film, exhibition etc; Something seen in advance; To show or watch something, or part of it, before it is complete.

Never go through the embarrassment of having your steeze stink due to sneaky subversive scripting skulduggery ever again.

Only problem which i run into on my mac, (dont know about pc's) --you click preview and it still shows because it finds the pic locally, but then it doesnt show up to other people.....but yes i agree everyone should always preview!

better yet, turn off the fancy GUI. I don't use it and any link I type/paste is clickable and I just paste code to embed. for pics you have to type the code yourself but its pretty easy

Embedding always works for me as long as I click the text box thing first before embedding. I think a lot of people just press the embed button right away and it won't work. Try it and let me know.
