Embedding YouTube videos...

Or maybe I'm missing something?

Post a link to one that won't let you embed it, let me try.

Well, there's this one that I tried to post in one of your threads. I've posted it before, embedding is not disabled, but it just shows up blank.


TEST: Let's see if this shows up...


EDIT: Nope, still blank.

EDIT: Tried clearing browser cache and all that good stuff?

I just realized something, I never click the embed button, soory about that. I just skimmed your post. Try copying the web address with the vid up and wrap the tags around the video ID.

Copied web-address with vid id:

Toby Keith "My List":



Blake Shelton and Alan Jackson "Hillbilly Bones":



Using Embed Button:

Toby Keith "My List":



Blake Shelton and Alan Jackson "Hillybilly Bones":



Let's see which works.

EDIT: Seems the web-address method works. Thanks Grey!

Glad I could help.

All I did was quote someone and then see how it was done then repeat. And I am dumb.

I'm just curious why the change in how we embed vids? Is it a bug, or just a change in how the forum software works?

How does that make you dumb? On the contrary, you were bright enough to catch on while I wasn't.

MikeC or one of the admins/mods will have to answer that for you. I've always just grabbed the vid number out of the address bar.
