    Either the tag or ID is wrong. What is the full URL?

    An embedded link is different than an embedded video. A link is just a link

    all you need to do now to embed a video is paste the entire link by using the "media" button on the editing box. third button from the right ....looks like a piece of film ( 2 frames) even easier than before.

    on xenforo, you can just paste a link to your video, and it'll be embedded for you without having to go through many of these steps.

    Really?

    Test



    Damn you're right. What's the point of the media button then?

    In my experience it doesn't always work.

    it's because you didn't use the right URL, some youtube URL's aren't embeddable.
    that's vBulletin style coding (it's a plugin). the way xenforo does it is vastly different from vb.
    here's the new one:
    Code:
    [media=youtube]z4gypl2RMnw[/media]
    it's like a road sign saying "go here." instead, it's saying "we allow media embedding."

    not a lot of people know about embedding on xenforo.

    automatic embedding is meant for the lazy people who don't like to tinker around, and learn how to do things. best of two worlds, really.
