All Youtube clips are now embedded!

Plugins are not supported on my Google chrome android lollipop. They used to work a few weeks back.

Is it due to my phone or forum support issue ?

Must be your phone. We have not made any changes on our end.

Hi guys.

Been a while !

I'm hoping to become a little more active again and start posting what I consider to be good video finds.

My problem is that I use to (years back...) always to a search first on the URL to help ensure it's not a repeat of something already posted.

However, now, it seems these searches no longer work - I assume related to videos now being embedded instead of the URL being textual in the post the way is once was.

The problem is that I haven't been very active keeping up with the posts of others, so have no idea if my finds already exist, and with out URL search functionality, I suspect much of what I might post will be repeats.

I can search "tags" for key words in the video titles, but experimentation so far showed that's not a very reliable method.

Suggestions ?

...Should I just post and not worry about pre-existance ?
Or should l I just not post since I'm not up on what's currently in the archives ?

I'm going to do a very small post today, and see if anyone jumps on me about being repeats... hmmm...

Thanks
-Bruce

Welcome back Bruce.

The embedding has not changed anything with regards to searching. The forum still stores the URL as text, it's just displayed differently. Just try searching for "EZACD8fUBNw" for example. This is a video ID for a recent youtube clip that was posted here. The clip is embedded, but it makes no difference for the search engine.

Thanks, I got it now.

So basically, just search on the unique ID of the youtube URL at the end, instead of the entire URL like I used to do.

Thanks again...
