happyjillin Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I did a search here and couldn't find any info. When I post a vid only the link shows and not the vid. Some of you make the youtube post and it shows the vid not just the link. How do you accomplish this-por favor y gracias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I don't know why that happens. Some embed automatically and others don't. It's a crap shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place the URL without it being a link (underlined) in the reply. It will embed automatically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted April 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm tech challenged somewhat. How does one do what you suggest? It's not just replies this happens in but also if I do an OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then RIGHT click and choose COPY. Put your cursor in the location that you want to embed it and RIGHT click and choose PASTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracias Pretty sad when someone thinks that music and other PLEASANTLY themed videos are dumb and stupid when the intent is to maybe take a little stress away during these trying times for the people on this board. I,for one could do without more dumb and stupid comments that aren't well thought out and totally negative and irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Now Ferret you know that belongs in the food section. Gaining weight looking at it! Bread is (one) of my great weaknesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbird Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Gracias Ferret, I enjoyed that video. I can't cook but maybe I'll try it. By the way, when I want to share a video I download it and then just attach it to the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bread is (one) of my great weaknesses. My mum adored good bread with a crispy crust and particularly liked "cob" bread as shown in the video. She would cut the sides off and then the top and bottom to enjoy with butter. The leftover middle (meh) got sliced for toast. Jenny Can Cook has other videos including one for crispy rolls (which I won't post because this is not the "cooking" section ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
