what was issue?

pretty impressive dev team coming from star citizen

[Craigor]

what was issue?

The issue was that the forums only embeds youtube videos if they are http://youtube not https://youtube
So I took the 's' out of your post


Then I thought that was a shit solution, so i dug deep into the code bucket and added some regex to the link parser, so now it accepts both.


And now I've forgotten what I was actually supposed to be doing this morning.. FML.

Ok, now I have re-written a chunk of the video embedder to add HTML5 support to youtube videos so that they will show on non-flash devices.

... what was I supposed to be doing?

It already did I thought?

Ps. I really enjoyed decent. This news is cool. Perhaps I'm just too disenfranchised detached from gaming to feel any sort of what I would call 'excitement' over it though. Really cool though. I'm happy it's to return, and others will get enjoyment from it like I did many years back.
