      I need to know how to put a YT video in a post. The share link only shows up as a link. Anybody know how? Bueller? Bueller?

        @ttyymmnn Will it auto-parse the link?

        Yes it will! Just copy-paste the link into the body of the post, no extra formatting required.

          @nth256 So I won't see it until I hit Submit?

          Also, you're using fancy words like "auto parse." jminer told me yesterday that there is an html gizmo that will give me a separator line across the page. I looked it up, and was told that it was <hr>. But it doesn't look like it worked. Or is that something else that will only show up when published? I guess I'll find out when I hit publish on this reply....

            This is a test.

              @ttyymmnn Yeah, I just dropped the link into the text editor. You can see in the screen shot, it doesn't show up as a video in the preview window.

              (I'm sure you know what 'parsing' is; as it applies to this, it just means the system trying to turn the link into a video, rather than leaving it as a link.)

              As for the <hr> tag, I'm not sure what to say there. Not sure how html elements are handled yet.

                    @ttyymmnn I always just pasted a youtube link into the editor and it worked. You might want to try the full link if you're using a short one that's causing problem

                      @ttyymmnn Are you mostly using mobile? On desktop, you'll see the formatting appear in the post, but the embed WILL appear in the preview pane on the right.

                      I almost never use mobile, to post, just comment, so not sure if it works differently on mobile!

                        @rallydarkstrike No, only posting on desktop. All the other formatting was appearing on the right, so I was expecting the video to.

                          EDIT - I just copy-pasted that Youtube URL from a random video and it embedded just fine for me?

                            @ttyymmnn Not sure on preview, I think it looks screwy (like a poll when creating) in build, but good in final form.

                              @rallydarkstrike Yeah, I was expecting it to show up in the preview and it didn't. I got it to work.

                                          When you reply, it's best to use the "Reply" button in the comment you are referring to. Not only does it give a direct flag to the person, but you also get the full editor window with all of its formatting and photo insertion goodness.

                                            I think I have to turn my screenshots into png files instead of jpgs. I'll have to experiment more.

                                                @RacinBob I was able to paste screenshots as normal (Ctrl + V), and they show up fine, as long as you're doing like @ttyymmnn said, and using the full editor (the quick-reply box at the bottom doesn't like anything but text).
