I was trying to figure out how to do it by quoting someone else’s image post and modifying the code format, which looks like this: [![](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987406765689811064/1093665022716158034/Capture.PNG) ](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987406765689811064/1093665022716158034/Capture.PNG) That obvs didn’t work! I was outsmarting myself, clearly the board inserts all that formatting code on its own and all I need to do is provide the raw url. Cheers! ---

Some of that crap is done by some browsers, not the board. Phones are the worst at trying to “help” you be smart by them being stupid. ---

…the reply button wasn’t working in another thread, so just thought I’d reply here to see if it was a “thread” problem or a me problem. ---

IOW, that same trick works with any bbcode or html. 🙂 Discourse’s 5-character minimum is input characters, not visible ones. ---

There is a thread devoted to reporting this particular known board glitch that probably came from a recent Discourse update. It occasionally works and mostly doesn’t work for some impenetrable software glitchy reason. We’re not going to discover a magic cheat that reliably works until they fix it to work normally for everyone every time. TPTB will tell us when it’s fixed. > [@Have links to YouTube been disabled?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-links-to-youtube-been-disabled/981958): > > I just tried posting a couple of YouTube links in and got the message An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.
