When I look at the preview of my post, it's working but when I actually post, the embedded video stops working - all I get is the link to click on. But then again another video in the same post will work. the only way I can see if it works is to actually post and then I have 10 postings of the same post. It makes me look rude. Verrry frustrating..

I think YouTube changes sometimes and is sometimes unpredictable.
Or maybe it's WordPrezz?

I wonder if its Youtube? I wonder if anyone else here is having the same problem?

the long one would be the one I copy from the address bar, correct?

I'll try again tomorrow and see if its working.

YouTube has been a little strange lately. Sometimes it just doesn't behave, but I cannot explain why.

The standard method is just giving me a link (which not a hyperlink, just the text). I've tried several times and keep getting the same thing.

I simply paste the URL from the video (as its running) into the post. Normally when I preview I see a video...today I see a link (NOT hyperlinked)

Any suggestions?
