Why are we not allowed to embed HTML in certain forums, such as Off Topics, Prepping, and a few others? Given how tweets and social media posts make up an ever growing part of the news and discussions, it's a real PIA not being able to include them.

The lack of HTML doesn't bother me.
I rebuild the links, and clean up the text, anyway -- to make it quickly legible.
It's also debatably safer if it's just text and links and images -- both for users, and to keep threads from disappearing (we've had threads that wouldn't display, because of a bad post with bad html). -
Question for YOU RangeBob:
What kind of weird voodoo do you employ to display youtube video links as actual links, rather than as videos? Sometimes I just want to put a link to a video, without the actual video appearing, and everything I've tried still results in the forum showing the video, even when I put the link in URL tags.Successfully escaped this crazy quack s***hole country ALIVE - 12/26/2017!!!

It seems to be the only format that GoC doesn't automatically turn into a video.

I don't know if it is an html thing or not but it is frustrating that sometimes tweets will imbed and others not.Comment

That's precisely what I'm talking about. On some forums HTML in "on", while for others it is "off". And it seems kind of random which are on and which are off. I thought it was just Off Topics, but I've found others as well.Originally posted by Big-Boss-Man View Post

Interesting. I never knew about that "shortcut" url. When I try to grab links I only get the "youtu.be" shortcut link. Do you enter that shortcut manually, or is there some way to generate that type of link directly from the video (when you click "copy video URL" for example)?Originally posted by RangeBob View Post

Anyone have any idea why videos sometimes don’t show up when I look at some posts?
Lately, that applies to some of my old posts.
Posts that have videos I could see when I posted them.Gun Control is about making it unlawful for you to use, carry, or possess a firearm.
All restrictions/prohibitions on the use, carriage, or possession of firearms must be repealed.
Middle ground?

the most common thing I do is
a) copy/paste the title from the youtube
b) type the date, and the minutes
c) copy the youtube URL from youtube
d) push the GoC VIDEO post toolbar button, and paste it into that, and push OK, which gives

e) I double click on the YouTube code, and copy that to the clipboard, i.e. the "abl_lBskzQ4" part is the YouTube code
f) I type
and then paste the YouTube code onto the end giving
