Am I the only one who is having trouble to link/embed videos (ie. youtube) in my posts? It used to work but now it doesn't. I use IE9 in case that changes anything.

I don't usually have trouble, but for some reason, the insert media link always duplicates the link twice.

You need to make sure you use the long link from YouTube.

Long URLs look like this: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma8D-Gxf1rs

Short URLs look like this: hxxp://youtu.be/ma8D-Gxf1rs

Sometimes the long link will have stuff after it (ie. &feature or embedded). To be on the safe side, I usually remove that extra stuff that begins with an "&", although it may work with it.

Hope this helps.
