    Then simply place the URL of the youtube video in the box that opens up. That's it!

    Don't forget to mention that posting is easier when you click that "A/A" icon thingy in the upper left above "B..."

    That places you in advanced editor mode. We can toggle between. One of them shows you the code live time. If you bold something, it's bold there. The other is the code side. If you bold something, you'll only see the coded B's around the bold portion until you actually submit the post.

    This isn't working for me. I click the filmstrip button, paste a YT link in there but nothing shows up. When I click 'Preview Post' I get a message saying the message I entered is too short.

    Which thread? And can you try posting the link in this thread?

    Every thread. I have the same problem with posting pictures, the only way I can make the pictures work is to use the img html tags. The last video I tried to post was in the What are you listening to now III thread, here's the link:

    It worked for me. If having trouble the long way - you can always just wrap VIDEO tags around the link, just as you would with the IMG tags.

    The dialog box comes up, you place that link inside of it, you hit ok - and it never shows up inside the box here?

    Go to "settings" at the top right of the board. Then scroll all the way to the bottom to the last set of options, see if "enhanced interface" is checked off or not.

    Miscellaneous options - enhanced interface

    It was on. I turned it off but it doesn't make a difference with video or pictures, I still have to click the A/a button. I'm going to log off and then log back on just to see if that makes a difference.

    Are you using Internet Explorer, I assume? Have you tried using Firefox or Chrome? I can't recall for sure, but I think it's an IE issue. Will have to wait till Abbey logs on, cause I think she experienced this at one point, not sure if she fixed or went to another browser?

    I'm using IE but everything is working now. I don't like Chrome and I only use Firefox when I'm logged into Linux, I don't like using it with Windows.
