NEW How to Post YouTube Links

[PJ Potamus]

We've noticed a lot of confusion regarding the YouTube posting function. So, we made a couple changes to how the youtube links can be posted in the embedded shortcode:

Between the [youtube] [youtube] brackets you can now copy the entire link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkYYq0TcryM
or
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkYYq0TcryM
or
youtube.com/watch?v=fkYYq0TcryM
*or
https://youtu.be/fkYYq0TcryM  (*copied from the YouTube "share" link)

or just the tag - the part after watch?v=

fkYYq0TcryM

Nothing has changed in using the tag to post YouTube videos but now there are more options on how to paste your link. Please let us know if this causes any problems or any further confusion -

Thanks

Great idea. Might I suggest you had one more variant.

That also covers the share option underneath the youtube video.

This option is now available so you can paste youtube links as https://youtu.be/VIDEO-ID
Enjoy!

That should cover them all. Excellent...

Thanks! I always forget I have to "special paste" the link, so now I think this is the only forum I dont have to be special about  :glasses10:

(now I just hope that a swedish guitar forum I just updates and allows video embeds whatsoever, it's ancient by todays standards  :laughing11
