    YouTube BB code no longer supported, why?
    As the title says, why has this function been disabled?

    I'm still able to post youtube videos here. Or did you mean something else? If that is what you meant, then the problem is simple. THe Url is Https: just remove the s. With that s in there it just makes it a link. Like so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEekMCwrW0w However if you remove the s then it embeds the video correctly. Like so:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEekMCwrW0w

    Again if that is not what you are talking about then I am sorry. Please clue me in. :)

    Cheers Batman I knew I could rely on you for a reply.

    I can post a link to youtube but when it comes to embedded video I get the message that it's no longer supported.
    There's just a grey square on the screen.

    I can't see the embedded youtube link you've posted as it's in video brackets and for some reason don't show up on mobile devices.
    They may be viewable on laptops and tablets but I can't see them on my phone. I only know you posted a embedded video because it shows up when you quote a post.

    Really hope that they can rectify this as it makes the music threads look very barren.

    Might be time for an upgrade, because embedded videos work perfectly fine on this iPhone 6..

    Yeah you probably got windows on it to.

    I don't see why they should disable the BB code though.

    Click on the link and tell me if you can see the video in the bottom example.

    To me there's just a grey square.

    I see the video just fine. However the video will not play because it says video removed. So I think they need to update the link because it appears to be linked to a broken video.

    That actually means as much to me as windows does lol. Technophobe here.

    Funny how the video plays for you and not Batman though.

    Judging from some of the screen shots I've seen Bats post, I'm hardly surprised..

    Carried out some much needed maintenance on my phone and it appears to be working now.

    Thanks for tips!

    For what it's worth, simple "s" removal worked fine on my PC.
