Re: Youtube
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

Re: Youtube
its down to the BB code and the way it handles the links it doesn't seem to like the shortened links - there is more than likely a add-on or patch for the forum to cure it

Re: Youtube
Stevie, you can alter your pasted link manually.
Example :
Your link - http://youtu.be/wbyqri2sfto
An embeddable link (the same video as yours) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbyqri2sfto < this is how your final link should look, for that video..
So you'll have to manually change the 'youtb.be/' to 'www.youtube.com/' and the 'wbyqri2sfto' to 'watch?v=wbyqri2sfto'.
Sounds complicated, but if you end up doing it a lot, you'll soon get used to it
Obviously, you'll place the link between [youtube]Your manually changed link goes here[/youtube]
Give it a try

Why can't it just be like it is on Facebook when you press share and it just happens!

Re: Youtube
Since I can't change the original YouTube BBCode to the shortened "youtu.be" URL without breaking all posted YouTube videos, I've created a second button and slightly modified the original to allow both "http" and "https". The new button also has this provision. Enjoy.
