You should be able to post them. We've seen issues in the past with trying to use YouTube's built-in embed feature. Copy and paste the URL from the browser, which should be "youtube.com/something" then surround it with the YouTube tag by using the little YouTube button here on the forum. Here's the code for the video I posted: Code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW6M8D41ZWU Yes, I chose that video to torture a few people who aren't familiar with it. Thank Scott for that.

Powell on April 21, 2012, 09:31:46 AM I have also seen cases when people tried to post nonstandard youtube urls that are legitimate but won't work with forum code.
For example, if you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW6M8D41ZWU you can see the Yatta video, but you can't embed it here unless you manually change the first part from "https" to "http". There's also (or at least there used to be) a youtube mirror that looked something like "youtu.be" and I don't think those worked either. "It's so easy, happy go lucky..."

Rev, that was the problem with me! I had some vids with https, not http. :cheers: |
