Shame too, AME is superior for the forum members who don't have the inclination to use tags or click a button... AME does help keep a site more professional looking.

For me it works on 405. I think you forgot to add that fix again: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=608

They are essentially the same thing because the only additional step you need to do to have them embed is click a video button. If you don't think that's why he gave up on the project I'd like to hear a better reason.

It's a lot easier to create definitions for AME than it is for the basic system available in the stock vB (because stock vB obviously has none.) The reason AME is no longer being developed is because it didn't focus enough on making that step easier for the masses. If it did, it would still have a strong place in the market.

We need extra video + mp3 addon !!!

Come on The Geek ! You have to be the best man ^^ We are all waiting for you!

ugh. The reason I stopped supporting AME is because I stopped supporting vB. I never even had a vb4x site (though like many I parted cash in an unnamed "pre sale" almost a year ago). I am currently in the process of converting to another forum package (that oddly has auto embedding an an extensible video system) in my busy schedule.

As to the points about what AME does versus what vB4x does - well, thats by design. AME2x was far more complex and feature rich than AME3, but that was because I built AME3 on top of vB's video code system for maximum compatibility.

AME sholdn't hae even been needed in vB4 as the additional functionality of AME SHOULD have been out of the box in vB4. The vB video code is limited (but well written) however for whatever reason, it was done without the average user in mind.

Users are bathed in rich and responsive UI's every day now. Gone are the days where users were woooed over your smilies appearing in your wysiwyg editor. Users DO NOT understand or care about popups or tags (we fix about 30 broken quote boxes a day to prove it).

When we click on a smilie, we expect one to appear in our editor. When we do a colon and paren, we expect a smilie to appear in our message. When we paste in a URL into our message, we expect the url to be a link when we read the page. Me (and my users) expect to be able to post a link to a youtube video and it appears in their post.

These are not crazy concepts, they are natural user expectations.

All of the code is there, almost all the functionality is there - but there is a disconnect. Smart linking (of videos) is an important user experience feature that could have been great but instead a non extensible video tag that users have to be instructed about before using.

In regards to definitions - Anyone with minimal regex knowledge could whip out a crap load of definitions simply and easily (heck, 15 minutes looking at the ones there would have gotten people started).

I had also hoped that people would have "got stuck in" and involved in sharing definitions with each other (thats why I spent so long creating import and export systems). But in the end there was DJ and a handful of others trying to help everyone else that wouldn't even try to help themselves. Which is fine and to be expected to a degree - but also sort of sad and deflating.

Anyhoo - those are some of my thoughts on the subject(s). I do hope that AME's functionality gets folded into the core system one day - but sadly I won't be here to see it.

nJoy and thanks for the fish!

Ever hear the old adage: if you have a problem that you need to solve with regex, you now have two problems.

:D

You will be missed sir.

Anyone could help me with a solution for this link:

I tried this, but does not worked:

Regex URL
Anyone could help me to have this working..??

Ty in advance

You just articulated the words that have been in the back of my mind ever since 4.0 came out. I sure hope somebody in charge at VB ends up reading that post. VB is woefully behind the times in terms of providing a simple user-friendly experience. It's like they know how to code... But they have no idea how to code for people! If only they would take a damn lesson from Facebook.

Mind sharing what the new forum software that you're switching to is?

I would be sucked in, but it really isn't as easy to work with the RegEx as you make it sound. I even picked up a copy of RegEx buddy, had it working in there, but can't get any of my attempts to work- even with assistance from Digital Jedi over PM.

With that said, you made a wonderful product here and it's sad to see it come to an end. Wishing you the best of luck in your new venture!

Can someone help me understand why this does not parse RSS automatically:
