Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 There is an issue with some previously embedded content now no longer being embedded, for example, some of the stuff in the "song of the day" thread. I'm looking into it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 It'll either be your connection or the server that's hosting the content. For once, that's not an issue with DV itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kut_class Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 youtube doesn't seem to embed vids anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Are you talking about videos that were posted before the update? If so, see post 3 in this thread. If you're talking about YouTube videos posted after the update, link me to one that hasn't embedded please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I figured out why embedded content is messed up. In past versions of the board, when you copy and pasted a link into a post, the editor added URL tags to the link automatically, so it would look like this: -[url=youtubelink]youtubelink[/url]But that didn't matter, cos the forum software ignored the URL code and embedded the player anyway. Someone complained about the above behaviour, because they said it made it impossible to just post a link to YouTube without it embedding. Invision then implemented this "fix": - 1. When URLs are copy and pasted into posts, the URL tag is no longer added. 2. If a URL tag is present, the content will not be embedded, so it will just display as a link. That means that you can use the "link" button in the toolbar to post a YouTube link that displays as a link if you don't want it to automatically embed. 3. If a URL tag is not present, the content will be embedded. So if you just copy and paste a YouTube link into a post, it will embed automatically. In theory, the above is OK, but they either didn't consider backwards compatibility with existing posts, or they didn't test it. I don't know how they're going to fix this, but I have complained and opened a support ticket. This is the 4th time in a row that an update has broken embedded content.
