mikew Posted August 27, 2019 at 04:55 PM Share Posted August 27, 2019 at 04:55 PM So I see a lot of complaints about the youtube embedding, or rather, attempts to do so. Here's a scoop: In this version of the forum, the newer youtube (youtu.be) short cut is not recognized. In regular browser usage, when you click on a link with that domain name, google's servers do a translate to a full youtube link. eg. This link: https://youtu.be/e4Ao-iNPPUc translates to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ao-iNPPUc and if you put the full link inside a youtube directive, it will embed your video.

If you copy and paste. Whiles its selected click the little eraser in the upper left corner of the reply box and the link should turn to black text and post correctly.

mikew Posted September 20, 2019 at 02:11 PM Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 at 02:11 PM I don't remember using colors.I used "code" tags to show the underlying tags without interpretation.And I didn't talk about the code tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
