Be easier if the board provided a You Tube clickable option. I know other boards do this.

do you mean down the sides like in add reply section?

[Mondy]

No, when you post a smilie, or hyperlink or image - that area

It's not really important, but am surprised the board doesn't have this option

Use the insert media button, then paste in the 'share' URL rather than the html embed code.

From what you are saying ISAAC all you need to do is copy the youtube video link that is at the very top of the page, go onto your post and then paste it onto the post.

All you will see to begin with is the link itself but once you press post then the actual youtube video should then show up on the post.

Hope this helps!

^ thank you wimblettben, and there was me spending ages copying the embedded code into html format!
