thanks for cleaning up the link. you can always include the link in your pings.

I meant that the link didn't inline the YouTube video into my custom browser extension so it would play right here on this thread without visiting YouTube. It's because YouTube has started to use hyphens in their links, something they didn't do before. Time for a code update to my regex's.

Here's are sample screenshots of how I see FreeRepublic in my Firefox browser. This is in beta, not released to everyone at FR yet. (These links will open in a new browser or tab.)

At the bottom of the second one, you can see my Scratchpad where I keep our banner code and pinglist handy along with favorite HTML and image links. Pretty much exactly what I see when pinging all of you. That control panel is just a popup you can turn on/off via the FR Favicon down on the status bar.

Ahh, a simple correction to my text scanning regex:

• before: (<a href=")(http:\/\/)(w*\.*)(youtube.com\/)(watch\?v=)(\w+)">
• after:    (<a href=")(http:\/\/)(w*\.*)(youtube.com\/)(watch\?v=)([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)">

Now I'm playing the video right in this FR thread again.
