He put the youtube tags around the link, rather than the url tags.
Something else to know, because this sometimes happens as well: the youtube tags only work if it's http:// not https://, and exactly as your link is above with youtube.com/watch?v=gobblydeegook of letters and numbers only (if there are additional weird characters after the letters and numbers, delete all that stuff behind). It won't work if it's a mobile youtube or youtu.be link. Pain in the butt, I know, but nothing we can fix ourselves - it's phpBB.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Thanks, SC. I tried all that stuff, but it still wouldn't work for me. I don't know if it was something I kept on leaving in or something I kept on taking out. Finally just got frustrated enough to put the URL on it instead. Anyway - there's always someone here that'll come to my rescue, eh?
Actually I just followed your link, copied the url, pasted it here, high lighted it and then clicked the youtube button. That is the sum total of what I know about embedding videos.
Thanks. I just post the URL on our website and it comes up. Not so with these message boards, though. I don't even need to highlight the link on our website - it just does it on its own. I do use Chrome so maybe will try IE. Thanks, again.
