Welcome to RMW Forums V4!

[Nathanial]

I have no idea what works wrong.


I just copy-paste the link!  And I know the "insert other media" button just works for images. 


Must I put it in one of those link or code things after the text options?

Where are you getting the youtu.be video from? Are you clicking the "share" button on a youtube video (which should work fine) or are you right clicking it to get the link (adds formatting to the link and so it won't work)?

 

[Marsigne]

Maybe it's the forum acting weird? xD because I know it didn't worked the last time but now it's working fine for me, as soon as I put the link (youtube embed, youtube original), it gets converted.


EDIT: And yes, as Nathanial said, the original link may have formatting.


EDIT2: By last time I mean some days ago though.

I did both. The one I gave as an example was from a PM where I explained the versus of computer assisted animation toward old fashioned 2D feel and research and physical work of 2D animation so it was cued on the 7th Minute, so on SHARE button because well to start at 7min there is no choice


But... Lemme try one without minute range (will try to find one sharable  )

Weird, because, I can copy your link and it works for me.

 

[Nathanial]

Try copying the link to the video straight out of your browser url box @Marquise*


I looked at the source of your links and there's formatting going on, somehow. Which is why the board isn't embedding it.

 

[Marquise*]

  Is it a mere Copy-paste? or are you clicking on anything into the message box option?  And or... Type it in a code box?


(Will try now in the code box with that embed thing... kinda weird I am the only weirdo with that here!)

Usually that is what I do but now I feel like either exceptional or either cursed

 

[Marsigne]

It was a mere copy-paste. Weird 

 

[Marquise*]

It is a NO GO for me Nathanial and Marsigne.  I am kinda 100% certain we covered all here.  Might be on my side; I am not yet on WX


(PS Thank-you to had helped me out in here.  As long as folks can repost or just click on the link it ain't a TOTAL lost.  It is quite nice on the two of you. BTW)

Your problem with the videos is that you want it converted from a simple link to a direct preview of the video on the forum?


If so, can you switch that with me? 


I am trying to get rid of this annoying auto-convert function, I want simple links only! >.>


No matter how I copy the link, it always auto-converts for me. Is there a trick to avoid that?


Ima test it here...

You could copy with formatting?


EDIT: lol after editting post, the smiley gets converted to another one. 


EDIT2: It might be something visual-only on my end as I think that it happened before and it ended up being fixed itself. Not a big deal I guess xD

Add formatting to the link, haha. You might need to use an external editor to do that. There might be a "proper" way to do it, i just don't know what it is because I've never had the need to send people to a different page to watch a video I want to post if it can be embedded in my post.

 

[Marquise*]

So if I resume I want the embedded video player so I do not just send folks on YouTube and keep folks on the forum and...


Sixth wants just the plain bland link so the posts looks clean and folks gets to YouTube if they want to see his examples, references...


I already know the answer to that question but I have to ask;


Can we exchange problems in here?  LOL

 

[Nathanial]

Neither should be forced, honestly, so that's another reason to want to move to XenForo...

 

[Sixth]

Ohh, I finally managed to do it!


Weird, because in the editor, as soon as I pressed enter, the video showed up as a preview, not a link, but when I posted it, it switched to the plain link version. o.o


It seems that the only way to do it my way, is to right click on the video itself, and select the first copy option. Even if it converts in the not yet submitted post, it will be a link when posted somehow.


Marquise, if I copy the link from my browser directly, it converts it all the time here. So, I don't right click on the video itself, but on my address bar instead to copy the link.


If that doesn't work for you, than I don't know, try to transfer that issue to me, I will gladly take it!

 

[Marquise*]

I thrust whatever you do Nathanial.  I am NOT the specialist here!  :3

 

[Marquise*]

I just usually select it from the browser bar and then right click copy and get in there doing CTRLV or right click Paste...  Mmmm...

EDIT


Nevermind!

 

[Zeriab]

Keep at it Nath, get rid of those bugs.


I had a funny error occurring yesterday, with AwesomeCool doing who-knows-what.

Spoiler

It's been a one-time thing only, so I haven't reported it in the bug tracker. Just hoping it gives you a laugh.


*hugs*

Just two questions... (Before I think I am not alone on my log)


The Notifiation unreads after one day or two should it still show a red square with numbers of unread messages on when you get on the site after a day or two?


(Because I now rarely see that red square anymore and must back track a lot and since I can't erase old notifications either... well...)


Is that normal if in the topics listed by date of arrivals, some I have unread aren't bold and some are even if I read them?
