    [CMS] YouTube video embedded in CMS Content... link showing but not the actual video

    Sorry if this is something I should know (but I'm trying to set up vbulletin to support my "day job" and generally go months at a time between attempts.)

    Anyway, on this attempt I have upgraded to the latest version (4.1.2) before looking at adding to and improving the content in my CMS.

    I noticed that "embedded" YouTube video shows up as a link only, not as an actual video in one of me articles



    If I remember correctly, the actual video should be available, not just a link. It was inserted into the article using the "Insert Video" button in the editor

    Anyone with ideas on this?

    (I've already tried clearing the cache but it didn't help)

    TIA

    Edit the article and click the Click image for larger version

      Thanks but I did use the Insert Video tool. The URL is between [video=youtube;3nwwKbM_vJc] and a closing [video] tag (one with a "/" in it)... and yes, it works fine if I insert the same code without disabling the closing tag in this post.
