    I posted a video in the thread on older martial artists. It would not embed. I looked at the FAQ's and it said it should happen automatically when cutting and pasting the link, but it didn't.

    I see that Simon fixed it for me. (Thanks!) But I am wondering what the issue was? Is there something I did incorrectly? Or was it just a glitch?

    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    The forum software doesn't recognise the shortened youtu.be links that youtube offers when you click "share" as being a youtube URL. You have to copy and paste the full youtube link from your address bar.

    Very strange, as that is what I did. I clicked on the address bar, highlighting the link, and pasted it into the thread.......

    I didn't even know you could share from youtube into forums in general.

    Thanks for the answer, but I am even more baffled by why it didn't work. I think I saw a test area on here somewhere. Maybe I will go play with that and see what happens.

    Sometimes if there are any playlist code after the link it won't work, though of course trying to get an example not to work and emm I failed:confused:
