saxon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have recently tried to add a few videos from you tube to share but all that posted was the link and not a video window like so many others do. Now I have done this in the past successfully but obviously I am not doing it correctly now - click share on you tube and it gives me a link, copy link and post on forum, right? where am I screwing up?

LORAdmin Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Don't try to do the embed stuff. Just copy/paste the URL of the YouTube video. Copy/Paste link from one of the videos in your channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Ok, heres the url from IE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSN_Xx5dYWQ heres the link offered from the "share" option: https://youtu.be/cSN_Xx5dYWQ AWWW......I suck. ,,,, (appreciate your help here, admin) Edited February 4, 2016 by saxon additonal info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 If memory serves, I used to use the toggle off button on the tool bar, paste, then turn back on. but I don't see that option anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORAdmin Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just copy/paste the URL from within YouTube. Don't try to make it a link .. just post the URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Thank you admin but as you can see from post #3 that is exactly what I did. Copy from within you tube and one was the IE url. I have not tried to make them a link. copy, then paste on the forum right where you would normally type a message. Ill try again - Youtube>share>copy URL>paste here: https://youtu.be/tzbdACbFjG4 Here is the IE URL>copy>paste here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzbdACbFjG4 well that did not work. again, thanks for the help. Wonder if this new forum is not as IE friendly as it first seemed? Admin, may I ask what browser you are using since you had no problems adding my video?

saxon Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 ok, let me try firefox on this thread Ha Ha! works. So now we know, IE still doesnt play nice with the forum - better, but not all the way. Admin, The on/off toggle that the old forum had (between avatar and eraser), is it still around on this new forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 In the reply tool bar, i believe it was top most left, between your avatar and the little eraser. It was a little toggle switch that would deactivate the tool bar (i guess). It was the only way I was able to use quotes, post links, and videos - and still use IE.

LORAdmin Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Look for the word "Source" in the toolbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 I m sorry, I don't seem to have "source" in the reply tool bar. 17 buttons from bold to size, no source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_b Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 When you copy and paste the URL you need to delete the "s" on the https:// part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
