That is true but in the reply box there is a small icon that looks like a piece of film stip that opens a box you past your link in (2 to the right of the smilies icon). That is the simplest method. Basically it just adds the syntax around the url that needs to be there for you.In my experience, copying the URL, just puts the text of the URL in the post as a link. That works fine if that's that's what you want.Hi,
I've tried to embed Youtube videos a number of times but only one attempt worked. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I've found that simply posting the video url will make it show up in the post. I don't click on any icons.
Regardless of the web browser that you are using, you should be able right click on a Youtube video to bring up a menu then click on copy image url form the displayed menu. This opens box a box containing the image url. Then all you have to do is right click on the displayed image url and select copy. Then in your post click on the little film strip to open a dialog box, right on the text area and select copy from the menu then click on embed. That should embed the image url in your post in your post. I've never had any problem using different browsers. I'm running Windows 7 from a desktop and a laptop.That is true but in the reply box there is a small icon that looks like a piece of film stip that opens a box you past your link in (2 to the right of the smilies icon).

My problem is that I don't have any kind of BB code editor on the reply boxes at USMB except when I access through AOL when I use this computer. If I use Google or Firefox or IE or DuckDuckGo, all I get is an empty reply box with no way to use the quote feature or add a photo or whatever unless I physically type the bb code myself. And I don't know how to fix that. It doesn't happen on my laptop or at any other message board site. Everything works perfectly if I use AOL to access the board.
I would really like to know how to fix the problem. It is very annoying and makes the board less fun. And AOL has been so wonky lately that I hate using it all the time when other browsers are so much faster.
