Yep, that was ... interesting.

(And ... huh. Media doesn't work on this board any more?) *confused*

LOL

Because you're doing it wrong. You did what Collector did - not what I did. :D

Code: Select all

Is what you want. Not Media. And has to be specific to the instructions I gave.

Whoops! :| But when I press "Full Editor and Preview", the "media embed" button is there ... but a similar "YouTube" button isn't.

This is surprising.

Also, the BBCode help says as follows:
How to embed media from other sites into posts
Users can embed content such as videos and audio from allowed sites using the [media][/media] tags, or from simply posting a supported URL in plain text. For example:

[media]https://youtu.be/QH2-TGUlwu4[/media]
Obviously, the explanation above doesn't work. :)

The Youtube button is a forum addon that Collector probably hasn't gotten around to installing.

Ah, fair enough. No problem. :) Can anyone update the BBCode help, please? It just causes confusion.

*makes a note to remember the 'youtube' pairings for next time* ;)

That's coded into the forum.

It's the whole reason I posted the how to post youtube on here post.

Although I think I figured it out and sent Collector a message.
