Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Jordan Miller Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Hello. When I try to post a YouTube video by pasting the YT's video link, it loads the video player, but we cannot submit the post. Hitting "submit" does nothing in quick reply. This error appeared after the upgrade to 4.1.4.1 My board is http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/
nodle Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Sounds like the same problem as others are experiencing like myself. May want to join us here.
Dean_ Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Make sure you hit enter to make a new line, paste the yt link, then press enter again, if it doesn't embed try it again, or simply edit the post and try again and it does eventually embed the link.

It does embed the video, but then you can't submit the post. It just does nothing when hitting Submit Reply

We really need this functionality back. It was a huge part of my site.
motomac Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Pressing Enter after pasting YouTube link isn't obvious for 99% users including me. I learned it only from this topic. Please, make embedding more user friendly!

Ozione Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Although I've figured it out, it's really stressful, trying to explain the "proper" procedure to community. It's an obvious issue.
chilihead Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 They are testing embeds on this site (IPS) you don't need to hit enter anymore, try it out in the test forum, and Lindy asked for feedback in the topic referenced above (by nodle).
Jordan Miller Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Unfortunately this still does not work on my site. It is a big deal users can't post YT videos directly. Posting the link then hitting "enter" does show the video, but you cannot submit the reply. It never posts.

Same here and unfortunately users don't know they need to do this so there are a lot of youtube links all over the place.
maddog107_merged Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 +1 for usability issue. Same thing with Images, should parse immediatlly not after 'enter'
motomac Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's the most popular question on my forum since upgrade to IPS 4: "How to embed YouTube??!!!!111" I'm tired posting instructions everywhere.
