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.)

Question: What if you would like to become verified but don't want to give up your cute nickname?

Doesn't work that way. The original idea behind verified is real people with real names, and the video thing is an ancillary bonus. Showing your real name is really the only reason to be verified.

Mike, maybe it would be helpful if you posted a permanent link under Help that has all the acceptable html code we can use on Pegasus?

Couldn't have picked a better thread to bump, imo. =)
FWIW, I have yet to run into code PN wouldn't let me use while verified.

Travis, I'll leave that to the dev team, who is off today. Let's just say that verified users have a lot of latitude. Un-verified, not so much.

If the dev team is off today, when will their new meds be delivered and they'll be on again?

Everyone's cute little nicknames show up on the RSS feed, verified or not. I guess that's something...or you could sign-off every post with some cryptic form of your cute nickname, like all the cool-cat historians apparently do.............until next time: user-formerly-known as Krunko
