Well, there you go, Jim!
High-fives, knuckles, hugs, or whatever generational-appropriate gesture works. I'm with you.

Sorry to see your 1931 thread destroyed, Roy. I put stuff in there that was in the spirit of only adding photos from my personal collection, and look what happened! Looks like swiss cheese where the holes outnumber the solids. I decided to be killed off and sent Mr Spurrier a note to that effect as it seems the forum is too unsteady a platform..

It is unstable, BBA!
But you are such a valued member, I recommend you renege on that offer to RJ?
I saved the entire Yosemite Circa 1931 thread up to December of 2017.
Admittedly not as vigilant with that thread save protocal as I should've been.

No point in leaving. Stick around. Whats better out there? Share what you have so that some at least get a chance to enjoy it. If its gone tomorrow.. well. that sucks but, whats better.. Not sharing at all is worse. Imagine if no one had gotten to hear some of the great stories that we have had over the years.
though I got to say.. I 'm still kind of chapped about the way it went down.

We are all chapped at the way it went down. Including CMAC and RJ.
That's how the going down generally feels: chapped.
Hell yeah, I'm pretty darned chapped.
It got away from them. All two of them. But we knew it was probably going to crash, and sometime soon: this is just the how of it. And most of the what part of it, too. But the why is always given to a more ephemeral assessment.
Maybe we just have to throw in all together and see how it plays out.

This place is more sterile than ever.
Even when I was climbing full time daily I rarely had the stomach to talk about climbing.
So boring talking about climbing and one track mind.
Boring ......

Well, looks like Werner is back to usual form!
So we got that going on. ha ha.
You crack me up, WB. Thanks for keeping it real.
Whatever that means. I'm not so sure. But we'll take it & like it, until your next banning!

This is bullsh#t. Why would you post a youtube video if you didn't want it to be seen? The more links the merrier I would surmise.
I believe when it is not played in Youtube proper certain things ({like ads}) are not displayed
Further there is a (still disputed) legal doctrine about things and whose server they are displayed on and copyrights

Yeah, that's the one thing I really liked about our music threads and live YouTube links: no ads.
Cripes. Looks like we lost that battle, for now.
This was one of the corner cases of all of this which I hoped would survive: YouTube links.
Let's work on it? I got a nice set of wrenches. Who knows. Maybe some plaster of paris and a little dynamite, with a neatly wound macramé fuse will get us there?

Come to think of it there are a bunch of switches in the YouTube execution line
I wonder ...
First look:
If you want to show someone just a bit of a video or skip a lengthy intro, you can append a time stamp to the URL to start it at that time.
Start 90 seconds into video
youtube.com/watch?v=7RWI3-8N_-Y&t=1m30s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RWI3-8N_-Y&t=15m30s
Yep this one started right at 15 min 30 sec

Hell yes!
We should be able to hack our browsers to fix that, right?
You gotta FIGHT for your right to party, or so I've heard.

You can use the same java scripting plugin that works for the pictures. I looked at it quickly and noticed that while it’s easy in a language I know, it wasn’t a 60 second hack I could do with my lack of java skills. You’ll have to do a little text parsing and formatting of the youtube link that’s there to make it back into an embedded link, as it was, and in a robust enough way to deal with what appears to be a few different formats for those links.

Cripes, zB, I was about to put on side B of The Song Remains the Same. Vinyl record. Turntable. Cartridge-NEEDLE sort of arrangement.
Now you got me listening to this techno-ambient-soma drift.
Okay. And NO advertisement intrusion.
Lead on, Charlemagne.

I don’t understand the rational behind removing embedded photos and YouTube videos. I guess supertopo got a cease a desist letter and decided to screw up the forum instead of looking into it.
Google images search shows millions of images from other sites. YouTube uploaders can easily set the video to not allow it to play embedded. Why remove the ability to do what countless other sites do. Sad the see the forum handicapped so.

Persona 5, zB?
Yeah, smooth soul R&B, with some orchestral punch. I'm hip to this. Then you drop me right in the middle of it with your syntax. So yeah, the patient is on the table, and still breathing!

I tried to point out in my post that there are grey areas. Unless I can make my own judgements concerning them I am not going to make the effort to post threads meant to inform people about places not named California and, hopefully, to inspire some exploration.

In the new spirit of Super-topo correctness/cooperation (STC/C)
Here's my standard in poor-taste Easter joke!
"You won't believe who I ran into this morning."
Now imagine an undoubtedly copyrighted photo of a slightly squashed rabbit on the edge of a highway, & 20 or so broken Easter eggs, & a smashed Easter basket.
Hilarious, ain't it!
