Please ignore - brain fart.

Seems to be a change in forum software recently. The software recognises a url and puts a link in automatically. So when trying to embed a youtube vid it's puts the url link in as well and screws it up.

Anyone know a workaround.

Your post is really weird. FYI, in case you can't see how weird it is. It displays a mini-screen in edit mode.

My experience is that embeds work or not depending on the particular website's software, not YT. But you may be correct, I haven't embedded one in a while.

Yes I posted that screenshot to show the edit mode, what it is doing. I've posted a lot of Youtube vids in the past, no issues. Just use [yt]. But as you can see from the screenshot it automatically puts in [url] as well when you post. This screws up the embed.

I've figured it out, it's not the forums fault, totally mine. Totally forgot you don't post the whole link, just the end part. SORRY. Not with it today. Carry on.
