Title: YouTube and other hyperlinks in postings...
Post by: blueskydriver on October 14, 2012, 07:22:58 AM
Some folks who have Ipads and updated to OS6 may have noticed that the previous way of using YouTube is no longer valid. Apple and Google are fighting like 3 year olds, so Apple removed the YouTube icon and replaced it with a clock app/icon (maybe a clock to represent Apple taking sometime too tell Google off...I don't know?). Anyway, for us users, that means the only two ways of using YouTube now is by going to YouTube dot com or downloading the Iphone version of the Ipad App.

So, how does that affect CockpitBuilders here; well, and this being my point, in thread postings when someone post a YouTube video or another link, it changes to a light blue color and is titled as to whatever it relates to. However, if possbile, can the hyperlinks remain as posted in the thread and not be changed? Why? Because with YouTube links it will open up the Iphone App of YouTube and it will either be to small to watch or not play at all.

As I like to watch videos or read up on CB postings while in cruise flight in the sim, it would be nice too see the videos and hence the need for the changes in the postings...

Sorry Bud, This is the internal function of the code, and therefore can't be changed by us.  Its how Safari views the site.  If you download google chrome app, and view the site with that, everything should be as it always was.
