Embedding of Youtube videos now supported

Postby w-u-2-o » Tue Apr 25, 2017 1:05 pm

You can now embed Youtube videos directly in your posts using the "youtube" tag in the editor.

1. In YouTube click the "share" button, then click the "copy link" button.

You MUST use this "share" link, not the one at the top of your browser, or it will not work.

NOTE: YouTube "shorts" video links are not supported by the forum. They need to be regular YouTube videos, not "shorts".

2. In the forum editor click the "youtube" button and paste the share URL you copied from YouTube provides between the tags.

It should look like this (the link being different, of course):
