Yep, not showing up no matter how I put it in.

 

Has the embed video function with YouTube videos been disabled in this forum?

If you manually type in media tags and also change "https" to "http" it will embed. Those are the changes I made to your post.

 

 

That is definitely not the way it had been able to embed YouTube videos for the past several years. Something got changed in the coding of the board, it seems, because it used to do it automatically when you pasted in the video URL, hit "Enter" three times, and clicked the "Post" button.

When I look at the mechanics of how you posted the link, it seems as if you included the address within BBCode url tags.

 

Try a straight copy/paste from your browser's address bar, without the tags.

That is exactly what I do, copy from the address bar. And only recently have they stopped embedding. I even test out the copied and pasted URL by opening up a new window, pasting the URL into the new browser bar, and hitting "Enter" on my keyboard. The video opens up as it is supposed to.

 

Additionally, as a test, I embedded the videos into posts in another forum I am a member of, which worked the exact same way as it used to here. They work fine there, with the embedded videos showing up in the post without having to do anything else.

 

Occam's razor indicates that it's something to do with the coding in this site. Not the first time I've had functionality problems with features here. I've written to you mods before about them.

The question is where are the tags coming from? Is it from the way they are posted, or is the forum adding them?

 

When I look at your URL I see this, with opening and closing tags:

 

[url=https://youtu.be/XeY1cDc0nYc]https://www.youtu.be/XeY1cDc0nYc[/url]

 

 

When I look at my copy/paste

 

 

 

 

I see:

In the post right above this one, I literally just clicked on the YouTube video, opened it up in a separate browser tab on YouTube, selected the URL in the browser bar, copied and pasted it into both this forum and on a separate forum that formats the same way for embedding videos, and it worked in the other one, but not here.

There are 2 distinct modes available when you post - one with BBCode Mode enabled, the other with that mode disabled. You can toggle this selection by clicking the little icon at the top left corner of the post box. If you look very closely the icon is a light switch.

 

When I look at your latest url with BBCode Mode enabled I it see exactly as it appears in your post:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeY1cDc0nYc&feature=youtu.be
However, when BBCode Mode is disabled a more complete version of your post is revealed:

https[color=#666600]:[/color][color=#880000]//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeY1cDc0nYc&feature=youtu.be[/color]
In other words, with BBCode enabled the system is trying to parse your url to a format you didn't intend, including color tags and such.

 

Try posting the url one more time, this time with BBCode Mode disabled. You'll know its disabled if your formatting tools like bold, italic, etc are grayed out.

You are talking about in the "More Reply Options" screen?

 

I have almost never used that in the past.

 

Also, the color coding that was there is what showed up in YOUR posting of that URL. I literally just copied and pasted it.

 

Here is it reposted, with the BBCCode turned off:

 

 

 

It does seem to work, but that was never necessary before.

He did a really good job putting up with her BS lol
I feel that he could have had a couple better talking points / rebuttals, but over all it was still cool to see a calm discussion from two sides.

Very frustrating to hear her constantly say "well if you can afford the gun" and "well if it makes you safer hur hur hur" Like she talking to a child.
