Doc3908 Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Hi, All my links to DCS videos in Youtube are gone since the update. I tried searching the forum for related info, but couldn't find any. Is it part of what is still being worked on during the forum upgrade? Or do I need to re-enter all the links in every thread I've ever posted??? Sure hope not. Sorry if this has already been addressed. Doc

Apparently, you simply paste the sharable link that you get from Youtube into the text area and it's automatically recognized as a Youtube video. Just updated one of my threads, but I have probably 50+ video links. Really sucks that they have to be updated manually... Edited December 4, 2020 by Doc3908 1

I had discovered that myself earlier, came back and edited my post to reflect that. But, for some reason, the edit isn’t there now. Very strange. Anyway, thank you.

But, for some reason, the edit isn’t there now. Very strange. Anyway, thank you. Maybe you didn't save it? Curious... At any rate, I updated my most recent video posts. Took about an hour or so - not too bad. Interestingly, some of the old video links still worked without me having to do anything. Other links showed [YOUTUBE]xXXXXxXx[/YOUTUBE]. Those can be easily auto-converted by the forum managers - it's a simple script to add "https://youtube.be/" in from the the "xXXXXxXx" string and then delete the [YOUTUBE] tags... Either way, let's home it's smooth sailing from here onwards. Best wishes for success with the new forum!
