Erin already covered this in the piece on the new Radiohead contest, but I thought I should also make an official announcement here:
One of our relatively unique features has been allowing users, albeit only verified users, to post snips of code in their comments on the site. This usually means photo links or video embeds from YouTube or similar.
We only allowed verified users to do so as a security measure to prevent anything that might goof up the site.
However, we've now made it so any user can post YouTube videos in comments. And you don't even need to do the whole embed code. All you have to post is the URL of the video and we take care of the rest.
So this:

...becomes this:

Easy as pie. Note that this only works with YouTube for now. If you want to geek out with any of the other myriad video providers, you'll have to become verified. (Otherwise, we'd have to do individual programming for every new provider.)
