How do you post youtube videos? I think I knew at one time, but now it escapes me.
@snood,
copy the url to the reply window
put [youtube] in front of it
and put [/youtube] after it
@snood,
Code: [YouTube][/youtube]
The problem is that you can't use mobile YouTube or shortened links for embedding videos. You have to use the links provided by a desktop browser.

I must still be doing something wrong. I right click on the video, click on "copy url code", paste that to the reply box, put [youtube] in front of it and [/youtube] in back of it. Nothing.

@Region Philbis,
I do exactly that. This is what I get:

that's the shortened version of the url.
i guess it only works if you have the long version with "youtube.com" instead of "youtu.be" and the word "watch" in it...
@snood,
i typed that url into a chrome browser and got this --

So you didn't cut and paste it into the A2K 'reply' box, you typed it into the browser address bar?
@snood,
yes, and doing so gave me the long version of the url...
@Region Philbis,
OK, it worked when I copied and pasted it into the chrome browser, then copied and pasted the long version into the reply box.Whew.
Thanks, RP
@snood,
Sorry that I mislead you; not having a smart phone, it didn't occur to me that posting it with a smart phone would be different.
@snood,
It's Easy... Use the long version with "youtube.com" and the word "watch" in it..
