YouTube videos don't work

Featured Replies

Posted

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/

I'm having the same issue.

Sounds like the same problem as others are experiencing like myself. May want to join us here.

 

 

 

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

Same problem here

Same here, plz fix this!

We really need this functionality back. It was a huge part of my site.

Any word?

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!

100% agree! please check also this behaviour when the setting in admin is on (editor no newlines)

Although I've figured it out, it's really stressful, trying to explain the "proper" procedure to community. It's an obvious issue. 

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).

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. 

+1 for usability issue. Same thing with Images, should parse immediatlly not after 'enter'

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.
