lol, sad that there was a compelling need to make a FAQ in the first place.

HOWEVER, the info about the unlink function is less common knowledge and particularly helpful. Good idea on highlighting its usage.

Re: [REMINDER]How To post the Soundcloud Waveform in the Forum properly.

Follow these steps:

  1. Copy and paste the Soundcloud link into the post, for example "http://soundcloud.com/trafikmusic/trafik-summer-sessions-vol-2",
  2. Switch Editor to Source Mode (the first button with A/[U]A[/U]) in the top left hand corner of the menu options,
  3. Format script using Advanced options, i.e. Wrap [soundcloud] tags around selected text (the url from step 1 only),
  4. Ensure script doesn't include unnecessary [url] tags (this will cause the soundcloud waveform to display incorrectly), like this...

[SOUNDCLOUD][URL]http://soundcloud.com/trafikmusic/trafik-summer-sessions-vol-2[/URL][/SOUNDCLOUD]

Instead remove the [url] tags in Source Mode. That's just straight url wrapped in [soundcloud] tags, with the 2nd tag having the forward slash i.e [/]

[SOUNDCLOUD]http://soundcloud.com/trafikmusic/trafik-summer-sessions-vol-2[/SOUNDCLOUD]

To diplay the waveform properly you have to change to Source Mode in order to remove the url tag formatting that causes links to display incorrectly. I hope this helps...

I'm guessing that they would rather have you go to their actual site, rather than serve as a broker.

Maybe they cannot allow embedding for everyone anymore, just for the track's owner.

Re: [REMINDER]How To post the Soundcloud Waveform in the Forum properly.

[ms] admins should consider implementing the following phpBB Media Embed PlugIn so proper embed links to SoundCloud etc can be posted. [URL="https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/mediaembed/"] https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/mediaembed/[/URL]

Or at least give permission to members deserving of the privilige. I understand turning HTML code on for forum users is a potential security risk. It just sucks that it means we can't have embed links in posts because of this reason.
