saturn Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 A few weeks ago, I was trying to post some video in another thread. I can't remember the video or what thread it was in. But I would copy the link in the address bar from the video I was watching and paste it in the thread comment. But after I hit Add Reply, the embedded video was some goofy Star Wars trailer or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynoByte Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes I have posted many video on here , it's the video link in youtube that doesn't work Ok one sec I'll try it. http://youtu.be/03TgkCVDlrA Now I see what you mean, why not just use the page URL ?
