    Sometimes the URL can be annoying. You can also click on Share, Then Options, and check the box that says "Long Link" then copy the URL from the box and paste that. GC should do the rest. :)
     
  5. both didnt work for me....:(
    anything else i can do>?
     

  6. I've noticed if the beginning of the URL looks like "https://etc.etc." Omitting the "s" usually fixes embedding issues on here.
     
  7. already tried that...its hopeless i tell you, thanks anyways
     
  8. How are you doing it? Hahaha

  10. When there is a "featured" or "related" in the link, it doesn't work...

    On the youtube page, choose share > options > long link, then use that address...
     
  11. yep, ive tried that as well... :p its impossible

  14. i just clicked the link, then re-searched it, clicked the same vid, and that url worked....

    fucking weird

    also IF and myself are fucking ninjas
     
  15. are you guys going to tell me how?
    because ive seriously tried everything
     
  16. lol are you going to read my post?

    whatever URL you got is the issue

    i clicked the link (where it should have been embedded in your post) it took me to the youtube vid. I literally just searched "russel brand westboro" and the same vid was the first. Clicked that, it had a different url, which worked

    some youtube links arent formatted for the forum

    finally...
    thank you guys :smoke:
    I didnt realize what you meant by different link, I kept trying to "share" it, but you're right it has a different link...weird. :confused_2:
     
  18. that one works!
     
  19. I just modified the link...

    Yours was...http://***www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OBA6qlHW8po#

    I changed it to...http://***www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBA6qlHW8po

    Of course...without the ***

    The part after the / should just be watch?v= then the video identifier...
