Linking to Videos

Post by Ernie »

I discovered some time ago that if I remove (https://) from the beginning of a YouTube link, the big annoying thumbnail does not show up on Mennonet.

However, this morning when I tried posting a YouTube link like this, it doesn't work. Is that just the nature of things or is there another work around?

[ url=youtube link beginning with www.youtub...]text[/url]

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

I added bbcode a while back that gives us a window in the post.

The url tag automatically truncates the url or internet address. That has been happening for a while.
