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.
