embedding

Please allow embedding of thumbnails which link to larger images. I understand the concern about idiots embedding images so large that they overwhelm the page, which is why I'm emphasizing thumbnails. For example, any embedded thumbnail larger than the maximum size of an attachment thumbnail...

I was wondering how difficult it would be for the administrators to enable users the ability to embed YouTube links, as they can currently do over on our big sister board, the mighty TMF? You know, have the direct link in the post, so that a reader could click directly and watch the video?

Have been away a while. Just curious as to why we can't embed pictures here or if there is a way to that I haven't figured out.
