Just post the URL as normal and add the time to the end in this format: #t=1m23 (for 1 minute, 23 seconds in) Examples: 5 min, 41 seconds into "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgPE91prbM": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgPE91prbM&#t=5m41 Better yet, 5 min and 59 seconds in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgPE91prbM&#t=5m59 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgPE91prbM&#t=5m59 It only seems to work if you watch it embedded (or post an actual link with #t=1m23). (posting this in BW because it's most relevant here :p)

SonuvBob Aiur21549 Posts November 16 2008 18:06 GMT #13 Nope, it is possible, but I think we should add a user preference for it since I assume they'll take more bandwidth and CPU that way.

SonuvBob Aiur21549 Posts November 16 2008 18:59 GMT #14 Hm.. HQ embeds do work, but they won't let you seek (skip ahead) until the video's fully loaded, so this trick won't work. =/
