Short Like A Fox

So you are in charge of setting up a Simple Machines Forum based site and want a foolproof way to allow users to embed videos from popular video sites (YouTube, Google Video, IGN, etc.). You may justifiably be afraid in allowing users to simply use the embed code from those individual sites, because God knows what the results will be. The solution to this problem is as simple as can be. Karl Benson wrote a modification package that makes video embedding as simple as cutting and pasting the URL of the page the video appears in. This package works for over 150 sites and is called AEVAC (Audio Embed Video/Audio Clips). The most recent release is version 3.1.2 and it can be found here.

This is a mod I highly recommend. Used correctly it has the potential to greatly reduce the frequency and severity of forum administrator headaches.
