Embedding FAIL
« on: June 29, 2011, 04:27:38 PM »
Whenever I post a youtube clip it just shows as the url, and doesn't appear embedded.

Have I upset someone and had my embedding privaledges removed ;)

I meant to reply to this yesterday. For some reason, you're getting the shortlinked version of the url (youtu.be). I imagine that's why it's not embedding. The real url from the top bar (youtube.com) is probably what you're looking for.

Completely guessing though. Youtube is blocked in work for me anyway.
It's some sort of delicious biscuit.

I think that is the answer, the short link doesn't work... not sure if Google have changed something..
