in the user control panel there is a place entitled, “post a video” and it says to post a url.
I've tried and it still keeps telling me it's not there.
What kinds of videos are acceptable here?
it's a youtube video of a cartoon i made 12 years ago.(has it been that long)
is it denying me the url or is there a screening process by administrators first before acceptance?

Apparently the ability to embed or share YouTube videos has been disabled system-wide some time back, despite the option to add one to our profile pages in the user control panel still being there.

It'd probably be easy to add back in but I don't want to add it to Alexey's plate while we're already paying him to work on the site redesign.
