In the give a tarot card a song thread, people post youtubes of the song. But how?

I seem to end up with just a text link if I try a link, or a big mess if I try to embed code. How to do this? Thanks.

It's the same as URLs, if you post a link in a post, the forum software makes a pretty preview

Just post a YouTube URL, sometimes I find, you have to press enter after it and let it load for a sec and then it's there 🙂 

 

I think the mistake people make is not moving past it and letting it form the preview (takes like a second)

 

edit: just tested it out with the link you were trying to post in that post and you just let it load after posting. No need to press enter or anything!

I will let you try it again on the thread 🙂

Hmmm. Nope. It just remains a text link with an underline. I wonder if it's a browser thing? Im using firefox.

@DanielJUK Never mind. Now I got it to work. I think it was b/c i was using the link icon.

oh I am glad you solved it

yeah just copy and drop into the white input box. I think the link icon is only useful when you want to do a link and have different text on it.
