I suggested somewhere in one of the myriad of threads that I think that the embedded sound clips feature should be tweaked somewhere but had no knowledge of how to do so...

It seems its it rather simple to change the way it automatically plays.

I didn't realize how annoying it was until last year when everyone had playoff talks rampant and I was using the Mora playoffs? clip a little too much and people were screaming for me to stop.

The line of code for created by the "Insert Real Player into your message" button reads something like this...

<embed src="http://www.czabe.com/backup/Vol3_jan18/mora_tirade_clip5_playoffs.mp3" type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" console="Clip1" controls="ControlPanel" autostart="true" align="baseline" border="0" height="40" width="275"><p>



I think if you simply remove the following:
autostart="true"
from this button generated code, this will enable browsers to choose whether to listen to attached sounds or not.

I got my info from the following page for your convenience:

Thanks Kevin. I'm sure Blade will look into that when he's back online in March :) I'll let him know about this.

Cool - glad I could help!

Its pretty nice to be able to listen to music at a reasonable level again while reading through the site... Lately I've been lowering my speakers because of all the funny sounds everyone's been posting.
