I *HATE* GIFV (Destiny)

Okay… check MacAddict’s original post again. The videos should be working.

A little while ago, Imgur apparently decided that they didn’t want people embedding GIFV’s with <iframe>, so they changed their embedding policy to prevent that behavior. Note that there is zero documentation on their site about this change. Asshats.

They have a different method that uses JavaScript to replace a <blockquote> element. I’ve updated the site to use this method, but note that this will *only* affect new/edited posts going forward. Any older posts have already been parsed by the server into the <iframe> format, so those won’t work. And I’m pissed at Imgur, so I’m not going to spend my time today writing a script to parse old posts for gifv tags and convert them into the new format. I have real work to do.
