I used to be able to post links to Youtube videos on GF, but the Youtube button above the compose message window appears broken. I'm using Firefox on a PC. Is the Youtube button working for anyone else?

I've never been able to post videos here, and have never figured out how others have done it.

I used to be able to hit the youtube button then copy in the URL between the two brackets.
[youtube] [/youtube]
It would usually work if you got rid of the "s" at the end of the https: of the youtube URL.
However, that doesn't seem to work anymore. You just get a big blank space.

Richard,
Have your phpbb forums webmaster install this official extension (free).
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/mediaembed/Once installed/activated, simply posting a youtube link (no need to embed it, wrap it in code, etc.) will show the video properly.
Will also allow for easy posting of facebook and a lot of other hosted video.
Been using it for months and it works great.
