Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 25, 20231 yr Received an email notification about a topic where the member embedded a YouTube video and it looks like this:
May 25, 20231 yr Community Expert My colleague has just seen the topic that relates to. It looks like they are able to add HTML and have added that embed manually, rather than just pasting the youtube link and letting it embed. While we allow for our own formats, we are unable to account for external sources.

May 25, 20231 yr This post was recognized by Marc! Nathan Explosion was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 5 points. Some observations: The notification contains the text of what was submitted by the user - it's contains what appears to be the embed code provided by Youtube for a video. But checking the post itself - it doesn't contain that code any longer. It now contains the expected Invision embed code The post was edited 8 hours ago by the user. Theory: User posted the code, thinking that was what was needed User realised it displays as text and not as a video User edited the post, and correctly added the URL for the video itself and Invision did its thing.

AH!!! That's a great theory. Yes, I suppose that's what must have happened here. Thanks for explaining, that makes a lot of sense.

You're welcome - here's the theory proven...I don't have permission here to post HTML so... Edited May 25, 20231 yr by Nathan Explosion no longer HTML 'text'...now embedded
May 25, 20231 yr Author Yes indeed I just got a notification email with the HTML code you just pasted.
