There has been a request to add support for Imgur's new GIFV thing to MyGaming.
This seems to be do-able with custom BB Code tags, but before implementing it I thought I'd find out how ya'll would want it to work.
So one option is using a tag like [imgur-gifv] with the ID of the GIFV from Imgur. I.e.:
This would be translated to an iFrame in the actual post. I can't let you just paste the whole URL in, because that would let people create iFrames with arbitrary sources, which could lead to very bad things.Code:[imgur-gifv]zvATqgs[/imgur-gifv]
The alternative is to have a tag like [gifv] which takes the whole URL, minus the extension, and creates an HTML5 video tag out of it, i.e.
The trade-off is that this won't be as widely supported in browsers as the iFrame is, I think.Code:[gifv]http://i.imgur.com/zvATqgs[/gifv]
What is your preference?
