Yes, that's preview from blog post.  As you said it works in the blog, but copy and paste doesn't make it work here.

You need to post the blog (or at a minimum, save and preview), and then copy/paste the result.

I saved/previewed it.

I both copied the content itself (just select all + copy) and used right click copy embed code.

Post the code for us without the <> and let us look at it...

Avatar of TheGrobe

No code, you need to use the youtube link on the Blog post interface and paste the URL of the youtube video in.

Avatar of ConnorMacleod_151

Done that... so what do we copy here?

Yeah, that's what I did.

It appears in the blog fine, the problem is it wont appear in this topic.

yep... just blank

Avatar of TheGrobe

OK, one thing I found was that the actual cut/paste was difficult unless  I put a character both before and after the video.  This way, if I had both characters selected I knew I also had the video selected.

You are also cutting and pasting out of the previewed content, yes?  Not out of the text entry pane?

Avatar of ConnorMacleod_151

I'm back... let me try Grobe :)

Yeah.

I'm using firefox.  What are you using?

Avatar of ConnorMacleod_151

Steve got it :))

Avatar of TheGrobe

Chrome.  If I recall, before the embed code worked this was the only way to get YouTube videos embedded and was very picky about browser selection.
