Marking my spot - Dogs & basses!

I was proud of my "pets and basses" thread at DP3

Can I start a "Cats & Basses" thread?

[Barklessdog]

I would think all pets and bass are welcome here or start a new one.

we holds no grudgers against any animal or bass player

I was watching the dog show on Animal Planet and saw a beautiful Basenji! I didn't know anything about them before I met Barklessdog.

I think I'm going to start a new thread - it doesn't seem right to me to post cats in a dog thread, even though I love dogs too.

There's no way to embed YouTube videos yet, is there?

[Barklessdog]

No, I forgot the reason- too much space on the server?

[Max Soren]

I am so allergic to dogs.  Way more than I am to cats.  I just can't identify with anyone wanting to be near a dog.  To me it's about the most miserable thing I can think of.  Of course if I weren't allergic my attitude would be completely different.

No, it doesn't take up any space on our server. Embedded or not, YouTube videos are on YouTube's servers. Playing embedded videos hogs bandwidth, but we have plenty of bandwidth and a small membership.

Here's the reason: SMF clearly warns that allowing embedding is a possible security risk. I know some other places allow it, but I'm new at this and learning as I go. When I have enough info to assess the risk and make an informed decision, I may enable it. Or not.

Thanks for the explanation. Being able to embed videos is fun and looks cool, but isn't really necessary in the end.

I found a couple of dog pictures. These are from an Alembic gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area last year. No actual basses in the pictures, but I'm wearing my Alembic t-shirt!


The dog's name is Thor. He did a great job of guarding the tens of thousands of dollars worth of Alembics gathered at the place:

and by the end was just plumb tuckered out:
