Title: youtube embedding is not working for some reason

It should work when I write like this, but it is a no go:

That's not enabled on this forum. Flash and a couple other things are also disabled for security reasons. Just link to the videos (or if you would like to, for style, set a hyperlink onto an image of the thumbnail.)

GIFs work too.

There is no [youtube] code to my knowledge, you would have to do:

Code:
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[insert video id here]]My video[/url]
Replacing [insert video id here] with 2xmR6CtD7DA

Well that sucks, how did they make this then, it seems just like something I would do with html:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2710426
You can even click and go to youtube main page with it. I wish I could see the bbcode under it.

That's just an image with a url tag leading to the video page. If it was an embed video, you would be able to watch it in the bitcointalk page.

You can. Just click "Quote" at the top right part of the post.

That's the BBCode:

See? It's just an image.

Lol, I feel really dumb now. I have been quoting people left and right, yet never noticed the darn thing had bbcode in it :) Something to do with human psychology I guess.

Please don't try to embed videos or large images. If we are out and about and tethered to a mobile, it runs away with our data allowances.
