Prior to the server update, simply pasting a uTube video URL into a message would automatically embed the video within the actual message.
After the server update, the gobbeldy gook below appears when pasting a uTube video URL into a message. <div align="center"> <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="400" style="margin:10px 0"> <thead> <tr> <td class="tcat" colspan="2" style="text-align:center"> <a href="" title="You Tube" target="_blank">You Tube</a> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="panelsurround" align="center"><object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lKHsi9yseic&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lKHsi9yseic&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> Any ideas or suggestions to resolve this issue? Creating a link to the URL is a work around for now, but it was nice to have the embedded video within the message/post. thanks, BooBooBearBecky |

Well that didn't work - this time I copied and pasted the URL from the subscribe box to the right of the video at youtube, instead of from the top of the page
YouTube - Colors of Nature: Winter Weird - it showed up in the preview. |

To embed a youtube use the link in your address bar :
![]() Example : YouTube - Organic gardening: How to grow an organic vegetable garden If you go back and edit the post looks like it turns the youtube back into a text link. -Raymond |

That's what I did my first try in this thread - I asked havalotta how she got her youtube video to show up in the thread and she said something to the effect of "hours of practice".

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I did all the suggestions in the above posts prior to making this post. I will do a bit more testing, but like I said, I had no problems getting a uTube video embedded prior to the update, but now after the update, I do have a problem. I'm aiming to get more than just an active link to show up in a post. I want the embedded video player (box) to show up in a post. Here is an example of an embedded uTube video.....I see this was posted today, so now I'm thinking the problem is on my end. Easy way to dig holes for trees/shrubs? BooBooBearBecky |

HELLLLO!
NOW I see why I'm having problems posting the latest video today. You're having problems too! I can still post the time lapse one all right but the next one I wanted to enter comes in as a text link..... Sure hope someone figures it out.. I gathered and intended upon putting a few in between the honorable mentions etc in the meteorloogical events contest results...It makes for a better show if the actual video is there and not the link to one..... I'm going to try entering the fire tornado one here without hitting review to see if it goes in that way.... YouTube - Fire Tornadoes

I've tried uploading various videos and all I get is invalid file...
Guess the new system isn't recognizing them. Clicking and dragging isn't doing it either..... Hmmm What to do... What to do....
