Morning CoSo…I have a question and have been avoiding asking it as I tried to find the answer myself and I just can’t seem to find it.

Question: can someone tell me what does the “sanitizer” button mean/do. (J if you see this I’m sorry for pressing it so many times the other day lol)

@Patti1120
Sanitizer chops off the tail ends of URLs, which can carry information you might not want to expose.

However, should you want to retain that information, such as a youtube link that you want to start playing somewhere other than the start (like at the *good* part) then you can use the /nosanitize command anywhere in your post and the info won't be stripped.

@ceorl thank you so much for the info. Video didn’t start halfway through but I’m going to read more about this

@Patti1120
Oh strange, it did when I tested it, but I rarely use that feature myself, so could be things I don't know about it :)

@Patti1120
Oh I see now. If I click on the video link itself, it opens youtube in a separate tab and starts playing at the halfway through point.

But if I just click the preview image of the video, it plays inside the post and goes to the start.

Thanks for helping me learn something new!

@ceorl @Patti1120

The preview works for me from the midpoint of the video.

Nice melodic breaks and dnb! 🎶

@ExecutiveFunction404 @Patti1120
Oh weird, maybe it varies by browser or something else.

That music is by one of our own, @Jerdie ;)

@ceorl @Patti1120 @Jerdie

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give a follow to get some new choons! This is right up my alley 😊
