Are you doing it this way?

[ youtube ] dQw4w9WgXcQ [ /youtube ]

(without spaces)

or putting the entire link in? You only put in the youtube ID tag, and not the rest of the link

And here I was thinking it was because of my ad-blocker. I think a lot of users are using the tag wrongly then as I come across "loading…" quite often.

In doubt just quote them to see whether they did it wrong / see the video anyways

There is a link to an explanation on how to use the tags, on every page.

Yes, must be a problem with my browser. Although the adblocker is disabled. I'm using chrome on windows if that matters. For instance, see screenshot of a posting of Couch. He at least should be using the tag correctly.

And quoting him I indeed get:
Code:
[YOUTUBE_]EAWaIveXV-0[/YOUTUBE_]
Added _ myself.

The video played fine on my end with no problem in that thread.

Here it is again. So not on my end.

Even when quoted it shows and plays.

Forgot to mention when you quote a video you get the numbers but when you hit post reply the video should show, and be visible. It has always been that way.
