Cannot post links to BBC

[freddy]

Posting links to articles from the BBC does not work. Results in embeded media that show as blank space.

Homepage does work, articles do not...

Too funny. This forum promotes more fake news than even the NYT.

I think I know what this is... sort of.
There's pre-built code for turning media material from specific sites into BB code for embedded media. It's supposed to work only when the material comes from certain directories but it looks like the dir on BBC has been changed from whats in our code. In combination with the way they're serving the content under an unusual wrapper, it's probably tricking our system into thinking its all media such as video content... probably.

Assuming that's the case I should be able to fix it in a round-a-bout sort of way, but it might screw up people trying to embed video alone from that site. Then again, since the directory xenforo predicts media storage from on thier site is changed, that may well be the case already.

I'll look into it further.

Heh.. yeah we're good like that. Unlike certain other places (that shan't be named), we're actually usually able fix broken things in a timely manner.

True, you fuck the republucans. But when you are the receiver you don't seem to mind getting fucked by the right and the left.
