I was just asking in case they needed help. :shrug:

Some folks are unable to understand that.

Sometimes it doesn't work. If I try and embed a video from my iPad, it just posts a link.

1. Have you tried editing the post afterwards?

2. You can always just surround the video link with the video tags on your own.

It doesn't work. It's a known issue.

Though I haven't tried it for a while. Maybe this last update fixed it. Stand by.
 



Edit: Okay, that works, but is waaaaay too much of a hassle on an iPad II.

Number two doesn't work?

I am talking about the full tag.
Using MaggieD's supplied video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD7UREH_rJI

Instead of this opening tag [VIDEO] and letting the forum software fill in the rest ...

I am talking about this [video=youtube;sD7UREH_rJI].

As you can see, the fully completed opening tag contains the video's reference code.

But thanks, that should help me embed vids on another forum I'm on that doesn't even have the "post video" embed option.

I am just wondering, does this problem happen if you select "Preview Post" first?

Let's see.



Yep.....

Please note the difference between a regular YouTube link and the one you used.

Regular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD7UREH_rJI

The one you used. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EHCygr1MDZw

The lack of "www" and the inclusion ".m" interferes.
Even if I try to post such a video with the ".m" url on a Windows desktop it does not post.

Try this instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHCygr1MDZw

If it works, replacing ".m" with "www" would be far more simple.
