Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong , and it is only on this particular forum!! Every friday for the past few months I upload a new workshop video to "my week this week, my workshop videos" in "the tea room". I write a short introduction, put in the link which youtube generates for me, and add it to all the forums I participate in, and it all works like clockwork, except on this forum! The problem is, there is no consistency in the way it doesnt work. It usually posts up the text of the link as text, but not in blue, and not clickable. Sometimes it works immediately, and posts up the link as **LINK** in blue, clickable and working, and sometimes it posts up the link as text, but blue clickable and working, but it usually requires multiple attempts, and it will suddenly work without me (consciously) making any changes to the format. Sometimes the mods jump in and say "fixed the link for you" but HOW? Is it me, or is it a bit of reluctant code? Any help appreciated!

Go to share under your video, select embed and copy the long link that comes up.

In your post click the youtube icon and then paste the link into the box that comes up and click OK. It won't look right as you type but once you add the post the image of the video will be there.
