    Youtube links

    Has the way we post Youtube links changed? Any links I post don't show as the actual video, just the link?
    Don't blame me, I didn't vote for 'em.

    When the software was changed months ago, URLs without 'player_embedded' ended up auto converting to embedded. (personally I found that inconvenient, because I often post youtubes as quote source which I want as a link, but not embedded)

    But last week or so, that disappeared so once again if you just post a URL, you get only the URL.




    But if you surround the URL in [ video ] tags, you get the video:

    i.e.

    [ video ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A [ / video ]

      Ran into the same issue and didn't see where the tags were. Candy chikita fixed it for me though.
      Please refer to me as Waynetheperson, I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

          Not that there's anything wrong with that.
