Hi,

I tried to paste a youtube media using the [MEDIA] tag option.

But it failed and it seems that your system does not like suffixes that specify the start time into a video.

e.g.

The presence of the #t... component causes problems.

FYI here is the video without that specific start time component, inserted as media:

1. Don't use the Media tag option.
Just post the URL with the correct time stamping.
Like the following.
The forum software will add the tags itself.

https://youtu.be/EQCXfSUdCjQ?t=187



Or
2. Correct your time stamp and use the Media tag option.
Right click on the video at the time you wish to copy and select "Copy video URL at current time."
That should have the correct time stamp.
e.g:
[MEDIA=youtube]R4BfKWlYEYY?t=356[/MEDIA]

Your time stamp of 27m59s, should be 1679.
