New Simpler YouTube Media embedding

Post by PeterJ »

Morning,

I have noticed that there seems to be problems with the YouTube embedding BBCode.

This morning I have switched us over to this plugin:

https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... ediaembed/

The second button on the right of the icons when you are creating a post (The one that looks like a monitor) is now the Media tag.

This now supports a huge number of sites:

The only issue is that the old 'YouTube' tag no longer works. We will go through and change these to the new tag.

Hopefully this will provide a smoother experience.

Great, hopefully it will make life easier. Don't know why I didn't spot that extension earlier.
