Now I want other cool things. Didnt gilgamesh make a thread once about html skills?

He did

Also, trash made "The Official VGChartz How-To Thread"... and who was the first to reply?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=149237

Gilgamesh is a genius for thinking about this. It's a shame that we have to find his thread if we want to do this. Damn it, ioi. Make this a feature like it was a few years ago!

Yes I remember, but want more!

You always want more .

Seems like this is a good place to ask this - when I try and create a thread with a video embedded in the OP, I can't do it because the embed media button or whatever it's called isn't there. I can embed them, I've done it before in normal posts, but I'm wondering is this actually possible for an OP?

If I'm not mistaken (which I may be, I warn you) you can add the video later. You post the... well, first post and then you can edit it and add the video.

Another option is, if you are using Youtube videos with the old code embed code, to use the HTML option and simply paste there the link, hit update and there you go.
