As many of you may already know, if you post a YouTube video address in your posting, it will not appear in your message when being viewed in the MSIE browser. It will appear in other browsers like Chrome and Firefox, but not MSIE. It will however appear when your post is being quoted. Why this happens I do not know, but I do know that there is an alternate method of making it appear in the first place as it should.
I've posted this method several times, but I still see people that haven't gotten the explanation, including regular posters, and I believe that's because the explanations are alway buried within the thread of several postings instead of in it's own topic. Hence, I'm creating that topic and providing the way to get your YouTube link to show as it should. Here is the procedure on how to do it:
On your YouTube video page, do NOT use the link at the top of the page if you want to post the link to the video you're viewing.
Scroll down just below the video it self and you'll see a bunch of options to chose from.
You will find one of the options that says "SHARE"
Click "SHARE!"
You will now see a link that differers from the one at the top of the page. That link will begin with "youtu<dot>be/"
Place you mouse pointer over it and right click COPY.
Go to the edit window of the message you're preparing and paste the youtu.be link where you want it.
Voila... that's all there is to it. Much simpler than the instruction themselves look!
Bookmark this posting if you think you may want to be able to easily view it again in the future!
