Every time LAM-SGC starts a thread it becomes infected with unwanted downloads.

It's been a problem with the way that the videos are improperly embedded. Those are flashwave objects, which are not dangerous. By the way, with my settings, those would not get downloaded without my permission (it asks me).

When embedding youtube videos, one should not post the whole url, but instead just the uinique identifying code at the end.

For instance, without the spaces, instead of [tube ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idcaRTg4-fM [/ tube]

It should just be the idcaRTg4-fM part within the tube tags:

[tube ]idcaRTg4-fM [ /tube]

Which results in this when there are no spaces:



If one is having problems, when quoting a post that uses video embeds, it will show how to use the code.

By the way, one used to be able to post videos while using the whole url in the way he has done, but since a forum upgrade to the software, it doesn't work.
