take just the actual code for the youtube video (the eleven or so characters after the "v=" bit in the URL, which are the same as the last characters in the box that opens when you click on the "share" link). Copy these. Ignore the rest of the web address or the share link.
Paste them into the BE reply box, and type [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] around them - but without the spaces between the brackets and the words.... so that your post looks like this:

Then I highlight the first part up to and including the = and type [youtube] there.
Then at the end I type /youtube in between [ ]

Re: Nostalgia Corner
I just copy and paste the link and it always just embeds, never had to do any of the fancy stuff mentioned above. I just copy link, paste and presto.

Re: Nostalgia Corner
Ah, maybe that's been fixed, then. There was an issue with that method not always working. Good to know!

Re: Nostalgia Corner
Didn't work.
A couple of days ago I tried various alternatives as Js says and different ones. None worked, so I'm back to the method mentioned.

Re: Nostalgia Corner
It's fixed, all you have to do is paste the link - no additional code required.

Did anyone put tennis balls into Mums pop socks and for some unknown reason bash them against a wall for hours on end?

This was what I wanted to post - Knightmare! One of the great kids TV shows. I was about 5/6 and I actually thought the kid that was in the virtual reality world would be falling/die etc
