Hi there!

I know that inserting iframes is bad as someone could take over your account but how can we solve the problem of sharing stuff from other sites like bandcamp.com for example?

I know you will tell me to just put a link to the other site but isn't it much cooler when an audio album e.g. is embedded in the forum as is done in Wordpress?

There's a mod (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2681) that supports a lot of platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Pastebin, vid.me [...]

Don't know if it supports the one you mentioned as well, but unless you ask for that site to get supported, I don't think there's a better option.

Already using that mod but it refers to video pages.

If your source is embedable it can be added to the mod doesn't need to be just a video site.

I see, thanks. Should I send the urls to you then or add them here?
