I can't remember how to upload videos. Anyone?
The Insert Video option requires a link. I uploaded to YouTube and copied the link but nothing appeared but a square saying "This is where the video will appear." Nada, nothing.
So then I tried direct links. Again, nada, nothing.
Is it still possible to upload videos here?

gemfeller, what name do you have the video under on YouTube? Also, did you make sure to make it public?

The settings on the board are such that a valid video link will automatically post in viewing mode without having to click on the "insert video" button.
ie: all I'm posting here is the Youtube link and the forum does the rest:
https://youtu.be/NimzjjqKuO4
Also worth noting is that Cloudinary allows us to simply drag and drop our videos from the desktop etc. That comes with a warning though that untrimmed/compressed videos running on the forum from Cloudinary will blow through your free account bandwidth in a hot hurry. Youtube is definitely better.

Tommy The problem was entirely mine. YouTube has changed its upload format considerably since I last used it and I goofed by not making my links public. Sorry to cause a fuss - I was tired and frustrated when I posted.
