Yes, the unthinkable has come to pass, on this Christmas day — you can now embed a YouTube video in a comment, assuming you’re registered and in good standing.
How to do it:
1) Browse to a YouTube video.
2) Copy/paste the web address of the video (shown at the top of your browser window - not the YouTube embed link!) into the comment.
3) The address will be automagically converted into an embedded video in your comment.
Note: there may be bugs. We’ll figure them out.
UPDATE at 12/25/08 7:51:42 pm:
The feature is temporarily disabled while we work out the kinks. Apparently, some browsers get cranky when asked to load a page containing hundreds of embedded videos.
