This is just a test

I added this using the "source" button on the upper left of my message.  Looks like anytime you use source, it will not embed the player.

Replying with the full youtube URL:

Looks like this is embedding the player for me if I use the standard reply box.  Can some of you guys try it out and let me know how you copied the link?  Make sure that "Source" is not selected in the upper left of your reply window.

Here I am going to try posting a link using the link provided in the "share" feature from Youtube.  Note the URL is totally different than when I simply copy the URL.

This is also embedding the player, for me at least.

Copied the url directly from the url box at the top on youtube.

How to make a short video too long - 

 

Cut and paste from the url box seems easiest.  Right click, "copy", go to Reply window, "paste" (I use CTRL V to paste).

 

 

 

Chrome on Windows 7.

Ok, looks like it's working.  But, @bartsscooterservice seems to be doing something that is causing only links to show up.  I'll have to understand his setup and process to post these links.

I had created a Suggestion, or a Bug report asking for the ability to post just the url, with a click required to go there.  Not really a fan of the embed window taking up half of the page.  Don't like it.  Look at my two posts, there's a huge picture, and the words are easy to miss.  It's too "in your face".

That's what I think of it to really.. just post a link, you will go to the video anyhow.. and it isn't taking up half the page..
