Youtube video links.

[Samurshy 708]

I don't know if it is just me, but I have noticed that my youtube video links no longer post a actual video player, it just posts a link. Is there a certain way I should be doing it? Or did it get changed to where youtube video links no longer post a youtube player?

It only works for me when I post it on a line seperated. Otherwise, we're green on line 2.

Aha! so I might just have to post the

brackets for it to work, for some reason it has been messing up for me and not adding the [media] brackets automatically like it normally does.

extra tip: try to post like this

not like this

Just cut everything after the '&' symbol and you can post the youtube link without any format, and the forum will automatically format it for you

I've been having some random trouble with YouTube links as well, but whenever I click the "share" button on the video I want to post and use that link instead, (it's something like, "http://youtu.be/aosdofaho") it seems to work every time. (That one didn't work because it's a false link )
