You know what's funny? That method NEVER works for me. The videos only embed if I include some of that other junk that comes after the actual video ID.

I have no idea why, but it does. For example:

Take this Youtube URL for instance:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj5rMTbhFGg


If I try to embed it using just
Hj5rMTbhFGg


This is the undesired result (notice how the video is missing?):


But if I embed it using this:
Hj5rMTbhFGg&feature=related


Then it works just fine:


I've never received an explanation as to why this bug happens. Go figure!

=============
UPDATE
LOL!! Of course NOW it works that I try and show it to someone. Murphy's Inverse Law.

I will also note that my browser always blocks that function..
If people are having that issue then they need to "allow or temprarily allow the scripted window"
Usually a popup line below URL link window..

Then it works

Or you can just type manually [yvid ][ /yvid]

I never use any of the tabs for adding the bbcode. I always type it out.

Thanks..I should have realised that..
But it's a pretty quick click to allow..

No...I can see both vids. I know what you're talking about though. I kept getting blank vid window trying to embed how others say they are able to emebed. I'll try some of the methods described above.
If posted properly will I see vid in "preview post"?

Thnx...I know some sites you can see vid in preview, some not. I tried the other day and it was in blank in preview but also blank when I posted it? I'll keep playing with it, can't be that hard even for a comp dummy like me. I hope.

Got it thnx all.

Thanks so much for all the above info. I`ll save the thread and just keep trying until I get it. Now if I can just get the little emoticons to work again, I`ll be quite happy.
