Hi Jimmy, the site doesn't seem able to auto load videos any longer (since Sunday). I don't think anything has changed my end, not loading youtube or twitter vids.
Cheers.

Hey Ogee, fixed it. Thank you for letting me know and please excuse this as I was testing some options for new members and wasn't aware I had disabled this function for all members.
Please try it now and let me know if it works?
Test:

Thanks, Jimmy. I only figured out the proper code after quoting your post and seeing the simple URL. I was previously inspecting the video's embed code--making things more complicated than necessary.
For others who are new to this, here is Jimmy's URL that works like a charm:

That's it! Thanks for letting others know.
Just paste the Youtube URL into your post and it'll auto-process the YouTube link once you "Preview" or "Submit" your post
Hopefully in the next update of this media embedding extension will also support Channels and Shorts? Or do you think it's best left for proper Youtube videos only?

I think proper YouTube video only because Channels and Shorts might needlessly burden Forex-Station's server storage and bandwidth.
