Linking to Youtube Videos on This Site

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I sometimes link to stuff here from youtube, and on going back to the post after posting it - the link has completely dissapeared.  This is just copy - pasting the link...

 

 

So just hoping Etta James' greatest hits got linked to above.

 

Edit: Nope, nothing - but it appears before I click post.  Any ideas?  Much appreciated.

You're probably having a plugin issue with your browser, because these forums automatically convert youtube links to videos we can play. So if that video isn't showing up, it's probably because your browser has blocked it.

 

Here's what your post looks like right now:

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

One thing I noticed is, it will never show me a media if using https instead of http. Youtube videos are usually from a belgian domain if you use the share button (giving you something like https://youtu.be/blahblah (with the s in https that prevents it from actually showing)

I don't think you're allowed to post more than two videos per post - they start becoming normal links if you do.

Yeah, when on a page with Youtube, FF blocks it as the connection is not secure, disabling that allowed the videos to show
