It inordinately bothers me that the video embed capabilities can't handle it when the poster uses the "start at x seconds into the video" option.

For instance, if I have a 5 minute video, but only the last 20 seconds are relevant to the discussion at hand, I'd want the video to start at the 4:40 point, but the embed media posting function can't handle the "?t=280" that is added to the end of the web address. This SEEMS like it would be an easy fix for the coders, though I am not an expert and can only speculate.

Thanks for reading.
 
Probably touches Xenforo internals, which we can't easily alter just as admins.

There's always the brute-force option of just putting in a link to the Youtube URL, with the right timestamp.
 
Yeah, it can definitely be worked around, it's just annoying, and confusing to people first trying to post with a start point and not knowing why their link failed to embed.
