    Irritating, isn't it?

    The forum software can only handle bog-standard, simple YouTube URLs without any playlist, referrer or other additions. It also hates the now-standard (secure) https:// prefix.

    This, for example, will work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAZhHXsknd8



    This, conversely, won't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACGHxR7pH_c&list=PL866B5792471795C6



    So, two things you have to do to ensure a youtube URL will work:
      - Remove the
    s at the beginning if you have it in the http(s) prefix;
    - Remove, if you have it, anything after the ampersand (&) - actually, remove the ampersand too;
    - Pester Michael to find an updated version of this plugin so you don't have to do either of the above :)

    Hope that helps!

    you can't use the .be links, instead use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSU4AykFs_Q

    Yeah, that helps a lot, thank you! The great thing is that with your help I now learned that a thing called "ampersand" exists and what its role was in almopst driving me crazy by not allowing me to include videos in my posts...

    Thanks again!
  • WOW, that tiny little ampersand was playing the spoilsport here and I was thinking that it was may be my browser problem. Not to mention, read all those tricks wasting my time. :shock:
