Probably never.

Moved into Off Topic.

And to answer the question, there's very little need for such a function. It can easily slow down the browsing, especially if multiple videos are on the same page as every embedded video opens it's own instance of Flash Player.

No, because people will abuse it and it's unfair to those not on fast connections.

Is it possible to enable it only in certain categories of the forum?

Strategy and Hi-Scores come to mind.

thats enough of a reason on its own. now instead of single picture troll-posts, we'll get hour long video troll-posts.

I asked before, but why not add the feature just for the strategy forum? It would make guides much more readable, and there's no fear of video spamming in that section. As it is videos don't stand out and people might miss important information. I didn't bother to upgrade my SB guide just for that reason, a lot of what I have planned has video examples and with text links it looks like crap.
