CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 In the peer to peer forum I was discussing an issue with youtube links being copied and pasted not embedding properly. https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/425473-anyone-having-an-issue-with-posting-youtube-links/ It would be easier for the users if the forum software automatically recognized https://www.youtube.com/watch as requiring to be auto embedded. At the moment it is only recognizing if pasted as plain text. Most users in the general public will copy the url directly from the browsers search bar and then paste it. That always converts to a hyperlink thus causing the forum software to "fail" to embed. I understand that this is the correct way for the forum software to work but it would be easier for the general public if the software recognized youtube specific urls regardless of formatting.

Right click/copy link, from address window, from share box. All embedded. I'd file a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I did the same thing in firefox now and it still converted each url to a hyperlink and failed to embed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Post up test login credentials for your own site so that others here can try on your site instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 To help clarify you say it is happening to you on this site as well right? As, you posted links as examples in your other topic. And you said it happens in every browser to all your users. I don't know what would cause all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 That is correct. It happens to me on any IPS site I frequent. also on my home desktop, laptop and my work pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've gotten pm's about it from multiple users about it. If you read some of the PM's you would probably pull your hair out as they are so convoluted and inaccurately describe the issue to such extent I required screenshots. If I didn't start having the issue myself I would still be confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I understand the frustration of being the only one to replicate something, or you and your users. But I can't even imagine what would cause that issue for your users, and you, your site, here, all browsers. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Lol, thanks for your time anyway. If your curious to see if it replicates on my site try out the test login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Tried it on your site with Safari on Mac OS X. Embedded instantly. No problems whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 @opentype it didn't make the url into a hyperlink at all? Good to know Safari is still working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I tested your site, didn't press save but in preview tried a bunch of things, it embedded every time, a couple times it was slow, took 2 seconds, one of those times, I added a space after and it embedded. Have you tried waiting or adding a space after the URL? That's all I could come up with, and in that case, that should still be working better as that shouldn't happen. What version of 4.1 is that?

CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's the most recent and current version. I always update right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
