    Embedded Video Option is gone

    There's no longer an option to embed a video. Anyone else having this problem?

    Okay, I found another way of embedding a video. Don't know what happened to the way I was doing it.

      if you wrap your video links in the VIDEO BBcode as pictured below it should work, or you can click the Insert Video button in the WYSIWYG editor and paste your URL when prompted.

      Code:
      [video]URL from YouTube, Etc...[/video]

        Billy, don't worry about it. SalesServiceGuy started the thread "What is the best YouTube movie you found lately?" He apparently still doesn't know how.

          Am I going crazy or has anyone else noticed the change? There used to be a ribbon at the top of the box where you enter your post. On said ribbon, you had a selection for pictures, videos, and emoji's. All of that is gone on my end.

          Now if you want to select an emoji, it simply gives the name and not the actual picture of the emoji.

            Are all your options gone? Hard to see in my screenshot but what happens if you click the "A" button in the upper right?

              It is still there. Or at least in my Firefox browser on my Win11 laptop. At the top left there are a camera and a chain link images and at the top right there are buttons with a paper clip, an A and a smiling face. If you click on the A and an options bar will be added directly below. There is an emoji button there that works the way you want. I keep it turned ON all the time.

                That's what I have now. Before, for example, I had a picture of an actual emoji with a drop down menu that showed all the emoji's. Presently, if you click on the A button or the emoji box to the right, it only lists the names of the emoji and not any pictures of the actual emoji's. Also, I used to have a "film" icon and a "picture" icon for videos and pictures. All are gone.

                I'm not sweating it. I can still do what I need to do. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this change. It was there this morning but suddenly disappeared,

                    It's nothing to worry about. You have enough shit to worry about. I was starting to question my sanity.

                      I need to tighten up. I didn't notice at first, but when I click on the A button, the ribbon is back with all the old familiar stuff. My apologies.


                      In my defense, the first time I clicked on the A button, all it showed was the name of the emoj's at the bottom of the box. The second time I did it, it displayed the normal stuff.

                        The A button is the only one that gives you the bar. You may have inadvertently the Emoji button, I know I've done that before,
