    I can never get videos to embed on here either, from any host.

    Copy the URL from YouTube, and then put "{video}" in front of it and "{/video}" after it, substituting the curly brackets for square ones.


    {video}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw1vuD8QAfI&feature=share{/video}

    Cool video BTW

    Hmm, it doesn't like it if you copy the link from the YouTube App, but it does from a browser window.

    That one is correct except that it has somehow inserted {URL} and {/URL}. Taking them out sorts it.

    Maybe it's simply an issue with whatever application you are posting from inserting unwanted formatting. I posted those using Safari browser.

    This is what it should look like but with square brackets:

    I’m using Safari too on my iPad Pro.

    I copy the link as instructed and add to the beginning and to the end and get this

    http://<a href="https://youtu.be/Qw1...w1vuD8QAfI</a>

    Myself and tech are not really compatible. Lol.

    Thats interesting, where I’ve put the video brackets thing it’s turn what I’ve wrote into a link

    Glad to see you got one BEn, what do you think of it? Seen one in Schipol a few times but the strap ends look odd to me.

    Argh!!!

    I don't think those are the 'full' links that it likes, copied from the URL window. They look like the ones I get if I go to 'share link' on YouTube. Why can't it just be easy!

    The other option if you are using the full browser mode on Safari rather than 'Mobile Style' is to click on the film strip icon and paste the URL there.

    Was there a desk fan running to the right of the watch? There's a flickering reflection near the upper lug.

    Very good - it took me a minute to realise that I wasn't looking at a watch with a faulty movement. I was about to commiserate

    What did you use to record the video?

    At least you can console yourself that the Rolex might now be worth a bit more than you paid for it..................
