Embedded YouTube player too big for blog layout

[Fabis]

Yeah, it's too big.

 

 

As you can see the right end pops out of the main <div>. This can be easily fixed by making the forum embed the video in the small player, like it did in IPB 2.3.6.

This can easily be fixed by changing the dimensions of the youtube media BBcode.

[Fabis]

You can change the dimensions in the BBCode? From what I remember, the BBCode didn't have any arguments and was just

Is there a new BBCode now?

It's not like there's a documentation anywhere...

I meant via the admin cp.

I don't have that problem - in fact, I can almost fit two in side by side. Perhaps IPB3 is designed for somewhat larger screens? In any case, I think making it smaller would be okay... but in the end it's because you have a small screen :(

I'm on a widescreen and it does fit easily. Looking at the profile background it seems invision have assumed all users will be using modern screens and highest resolution.

No, it means you have a bigger monitor than normal people.

[Hunter]

1080p is big, sure. But the space on my screen fits nearly 2 into it. A 720p screen (really the minimum one would want nowadays) will fit it on fine.

Having content blocks on both sides also constricts things a bit, though an "small" option might be nice so we don't leave out the people who either want content blocks on both sides, have small monitors, or both.

:( You mean we are still using old screen with medium resolution?

[Fabis]

1280 x 1024 here, so definitely not some 10 year old monitor.

it's the same for pics too

both in blogs and in threads

That worked when I was veiwing Fatalysm's huge Skin screenshot blogpost

having a workaround doesn't make it any less irritating when images go over text

 

if they don't fir in a certain post/bar/whatever they should scroll and not roll over other stuff

[Hunter]

I'm surprised that doesn't fit. I'll try with that screen size in a moment.

fit* :(

and yeah, what ur said is also correct, I think it is just a matter of time for this to get fixed (hopefully)

[Hunter]

Yeah, it doesn't fit at 720p or your screen size. You could de-clutter your content blocks (IE, removing those on one side and adding them to the other).

[Helm Lardar]

To me, it fits. I don't have that large a screen, but a relatively large video player is very nice: with the old player, I had to open the video in another video if I wanted to see what was going on...slightly removing the point of an embed.

[Fabis]

Or an admin could fix this so it would work for everyone no matter what screen size. It's been what, 4 days since I posted this? Changing the BBCode really isn't that hard so I have no idea why this hasn't been fixed yet.

It'll never work on all screen sizes. Make it smaller and the point is deleted. Even if it's so small you can barely see the massive title, an 800x600 screen will have trouble.

 

You can always declutter your blog or just link the videos.

 

And it's not a matter of difficulty of changing, it's the fact we might not want to change.

That's just over half the resolution of average monitors now.

[Fabis]

My blog worked before the upgrade so it will work again if they fix the embed code. The difference between my resolution and 800x600 is that pretty much no one uses no one uses 800x600 anymore, while 1280x1024 still popular.

As you can see 1024x768 is pretty much still the most popular resolution, and my resolution is even a little bigger than that. So I don't see why I should make it smaller, because a few people have new monitors and no that is not over half the resolution of average monitors.

 

Also, if you absolutely must have the big YouTube player, then you can also add an argument to the BBCode so you can choose between the big and small one.

I think the blog preview shouldn't allow images over a certain size and youtube videos should have an image thumbnail that's small. It's ridiculous at the moment.

Now go check the average monitor resolution of people on this forum, I guarantee it's far different to that.

More than half the votes represent 1080p or larger :(
