People probably already know this but I figured I post anyway since I couldn't find a post on this. Granted saying that I'm sure somebody else will refer me to one, and likely a even better solution. :)

When adding embbeded videos using the code suggested commonly suggested (at least the code I was able to find),

More Troops Noble Leader (for example)

the videos come out as extremely ugly on an iPad. Basically the come out as one hugely vertical embedded pic (almost like height was 1 million px or something)

Since many of the players in my campaign use iPads having correct formating of the video is useful to my group.

To get around that place the embeded video in a table.




More Troops Noble Leader




Hopefully this will be of use to someone.

    Hopefully, I notice it a lot when viewing many of the COTM campaign sites from my iPad since most of them have a video on the main page.

    Cough! cough! Hint, hint. :)

    Hey Arsheesh and/or Chainsaw- This works! Please add to the FAQs, as the use of tablets/Ipads is seriously increasing in gaming.
    Thanks again CGregory!

    I tried this on my OP site, and all it did was add a text link, no window of the video. Did I do something wrong? I copied it word for word from above

    Keryth- Remember, you have to change the quotes- you cannot just cut and paste. Worked great on mine.

    Keryth987, if you post the a copy of what you used I can certainly help troubleshoot where the issue is, assuming you are still having an issue.

    Got it to work. killervp mentioning of the quotes fixed it.

    I was not aware that would be an issue.

    Thanks for the help gang

    No worries Keryth, it is an issue that will always exist, and I made the same error before- almost all of us have.
