    I get the same patriotpro, just the link. Vimeo comes up, youtube doesn’t. Not a problem as most posted videos are a waste of time anyway. 😀

    with youtube make sure the link you use is the full youtube.com.url rather than the shortened youtu.be…. (the one that is created if you use the ‘share’ button on the youtube site). For some reason (IME) the former works on STW but the latter doesn’t.

    How are you arriving at that page you are linking to – are you clicking through form another forum or searching on youtube.

    If you search for that video on youtube you get a much shorted URL – maybe its the

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aN8H2U0RKY rather than
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-aN8H2U0RKY

    lets see if the shorter one works..

    Edit… that’ll be a no then. in that case it looks like the people who posted the video up on youtube have disabled embedding

    This one works fine – see

    Rather they end up like the one you posted of the one I posted mccruiskeen.

    Cheers again, i’ll make do without

    Sincerely baffled. 😐
