I think this looks funny:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HPB97I/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=12MGB87BG0BQCJ43R5JJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846"]Amazon.com: Mitsubishi WD-82738 82-Inch 3D DLP HDTV: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21Dck5MngXL.@@AMEPARAM@@21Dck5MngXL[/ame]

The link click doesnt work and the image click works but it looks a bit funny

I've been seeing several amazon links like this and I think it ruins the forum experience. I hope it's not a "feature" now.
 
Does this have anything to do with all the youtube videos now being imbedded?

And this - I don't want to see them videos or to have them being embedded. Potential for abuse are high here.
 
Do remember that you can turn the auto-embedding off in your user cp. But I agree, the layout and look is absolutely horrid.
 
I guess I'm in the minority here cause I like the YouTube setup now. I hate seeing all the stupid comments on some videos on YT. Yes the format could be better I suppose.
Is there a way to make the embed so it's on the left instead of center? That might be better.
 
I think the YouTube embed feature should be a privledge for users above a certain post count. It would probobly cut down on people abusing it.

Am I blind? I don't see that option, where is it at?

As far as the links go, I think they are a function of skimlinks or viglinks or whatver it's called, where every link on the forum is rewritten to grab commission off of the sale if the someone buys the stuff after following the link.
 
Hmm....I'm not sure where it is. I saw a screenshot in another thread when they first became active.

The option is on the advanced post options page, not the User CP. You can disable it per-post, but not globally as far as I know.
 
It's a new feature, probably will just take some getting used to. All the kinks probably haven't been worked out, but so far, it seems functional.
 
Give us time please. We are aware of the look.
