Embedding Youtube Videos [Solved]

[urbanmosaic 234]

This is a question for the mods. I was trying to embed a youtube video in my club's topics section and couldn't get it to work.  Youtube videos used to automatically embed just by pasting a link.  Is that still how it works?  Or is embedding now not allowed?

Yep. That should do it. I seem to recall sometimes you have to press the Enter key after pasting the linky and then wait a second or three.

It is allowed. It might be possible there is a setting not set right for the club (and that would be thru no fault of your own).

For a test, how about trying to embed the vid in this topic? I think then we'll be able to rule out major complications if it works here.

Okay there it is it works here. I'll try again in the club topic section and report back.  Thanks.

And so the very same method does not work in the club?

Do an @CorinaMarie beep in said club where you want that to show up and I'll see if my admin permissions allow me to post it. (If so that'll be our workaround for the moment and it'll prolly point out the exact trouble to CB when he can take a peek.)

I grabbed this from your club post.

Thanks @CorinaMarie.  It works as intended. Don't know why it didn't yesterday, but these things happen.

You're welcome. (Prolly Gremlins. We let them out to feed now and then. )
