MrSpaM Posted 11 February 2015 Share Posted 11 February 2015 Tried to post one this morning and it just keeps displaying the hyperlink rather than the actual video in the post, has this been done on purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 11 February 2015 Author Share Posted 11 February 2015 It must be something you're doing? Weird, all I'm doing is copying and pasting the url Edit : And it works when I quote other people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted 11 February 2015 Share Posted 11 February 2015 Weird, all I'm doing is copying and pasting the url Edit : And it works when I quote other people That's all I'm doing. Even when I quoted you your link turned into a video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 11 February 2015 Share Posted 11 February 2015 I'm the same as MrSpam. all I get is the url when I post but I get the video in other postings. Edit on MrSpam's first url posting all I get is the url I get the video on DB!!'s postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB11 Posted 2 April 2015 Share Posted 2 April 2015 I've noticed that when a post has the YouTube URL in as opposed to an embedded video the link is always HTTPS as opposed to HTTP maybe the secure version cannot be embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 2 April 2015 Share Posted 2 April 2015 Just use the URL instead of the 'share' link on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 2 April 2015 Share Posted 2 April 2015 Just use the URL instead of the 'share' link on YouTube. Sometimes if youve followed it off of another site though it can do the same thing. Google the title of the video and use the URL from the same video that comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 7 April 2015 Share Posted 7 April 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LztFgqvFjX8 https://youtu.be/LztFgqvFjX8 Just seeing if either work for me... Edit: Oh good, so I just need to remember to not use the share link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 1 May 2015 Share Posted 1 May 2015 Another little thought.... are you signed in to a youtube/ google account when trying to post a video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 3 May 2015 Share Posted 3 May 2015 Another little thought.... are you signed in to a youtube/ google account when trying to post a video? This could be it. Every time I go to post a vid I'm signed into youtube and it's often from a playlist of mine. If you get there via a site re-direct that can make the url weird as well. If in doubt just paste the name of the vid back into youtube and get the original link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
