Topic starter
 

I paste the link in the box and then all that shows up in a thread is non clickable text. What am I doing wrong?

What's the link you're trying to post?

It needs to be a full youtube.com link, not youtu.be or anything else.

eg

enter it as:

But instead of pointy brackets <> use square ones []

EDIT: O, M & muchos G... that's the first vid I've managed to stick up on here.
