    Posting YouTube isn't working correctly.

    You used to be able to just post the url without any tags into the Quick reply and the forum software would wrap the tags around properly.

    It doesn't do it now (or at least in Safari, maybe other browsers are working correctly)

    When I posted before it wrapped the tags like this: (which doesn't work)

    instead of like this:

    THE PERFECT WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!! - YouTube

    Just checked the differences in the 2 links. The first is using https & the second is just using http as well as wrapping the tags differently.

    Think its YouTube error not forum software as there are no long links now the links they give no good using chrome opera or firefox given up now.

    You must be doing something wrong ,just copy and paste the url and don't use any other coding.

    If you click on quote for this post, then you'll see that the 2 URLs have different formats. Obviously YouTube can handle both formats, but the forum software cannot.

    Doe's it matter which country you are posting from or maybe the ISP can't work it out.

    It seems to me that it is a problem of the source of your link. If you copy the link from some embedded YouTube video it often does not work. If you search the video in YouTube using the title and copy the link it works.

    At least that was my experence, when videos did not embed.

    Think i have worked it out you need to right click on the video on the you tube page you get this code.

    The code on the top of the web page is Lion Air plane crash - Bali April - 2013 - YouTube.
    That didn't work.

    That is because the url you used is feature player embedded ...................

    you need to put the vid title into the youtube search box and find the base url which will give you ................

    For me even the play back had been off. Then I got a ubuntu upgrade yesterday and all is good. I never had a problem so I will try.
