Not sure if this is the right forum sub category...

But why do I see the word "BORKED" or "BORK"?

I assume it has something to do with posting links or am i off base?

urban dictionary says...

borked-To have totally f'ed something up. Usually by doing something stupid. Specifically used to describe technology that is broken

kdo2milger · 03-04-2009, 08:22 AM

ah ok, thought i was loosing it...

another def of it from the same website

borked - The term "Borked" or "Borking" originated with conservative talk show hosts (primarily Rush Limbaugh) to describe someone who is denied something earned simply because they either aren't politically correct enough or aren't trusted - usually without cause. The usage is derived from Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork who though eminently qualified was deemed too "conservative" to serve as a Supreme Court judge.

Are you using a different computer than normal? When something is borked, its normally a youtube video or atleast that was the case when I was using my laptop at the inlaws. AK helped me figure it out.

It means the computer you are using doesn't allow youtube. When you use a computer that does (i.e. your home computer), you'll see the video embeded.

BTW, you can embed high quality youtube videos Now!

"Borked" shows when you incorrectly paste a YouTube video in a thread (like I have too many times). You have to explicitly follow the instructions given below to avoid being borked:

BanningZ and socal is correct. You'll see BORKED when you are using a computer with youtube blocked or if you improperly embed a youtube video. This why I always encourage forum members to include the youtube link right below the embeded video.
