As far as I know you can't embed videos directly to the forum.

You need to put your video up on a hosting site like YouTube.
Then post a link on here to that video.

It's the YouTube video player (like you just embedded) that won't post for me.
All I can post is the long *** embedding link... no player.

Well, all I did was post the link to the video, and the forum software did the rest.

What my post looked like as I wrote it:




Here is how I got the link from YouTube.
Open the video on YouTube, and then copy the URL.
Then pasted that URL into the post here.

Logged out and back in and now my avatar is fixed.
A big THANK YOU to @RollaMo for the help

Note to self: Don't use the embed link that YouTube provides.
