Is there a particular reason so many people are using such tiny YouTube embeds?

And would I break anything if I opted to use the normal size (like ~~Bobby~~ Khwarizmi up there) for my embeds?

^ The tiny size results from using the

(URL GOES HERE) code.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-12 12:49:25

Oh, there's one of those? I was using the full html this whole time. Let's see:

Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912 - the 50th anniversary of Arizona's recognition as a territory of the Confederate States of America.[5] Arizona is noted for its desert climate, exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters, however it also features pine forests and mountain ranges in the northern high country, with cooler weather than in the lower deserts.

Ok, you can apparently make a "proper" quote with

Ooo! Now I don't have to colour quotes dark blue!

See the little button at the very end that looks like a piece of paper with < > on it? click that to show the HTML code, enter your

TEXT

tags, and then click it again when you're done.

For those just joining us, here's a few tricks we've pinned down so far.

A rough equivalent to spoiler-text can be made in the Rich Text editor by selecting the same color for the text and the text highlight.

"Official-looking" quotes like this one can be made with the standard HTML
tags. Of course, you have to edit the HTML to do this, so you might not want to bother unless you're quoting a large passage or you're just really anal.

YouTube embeds can be made by simply pasting the URL into the HTML:

If you just can't stand the tiny size, the full embed HTML as found on YouTube works too, but it's not really worth it.

...Anything important I missed?

Yay, we have our emoticons back I guess

Central Avenue · 2011-01-13 23:02:58

Huh, I just noticed: "smorgasbord", "justinbieber", "fasteddie", "meta" (boring), and "madeofmeatspace".

I think color is FABULOUS!

Thumped for a personal attack, which is a no-no.
