    Default Embedding videos difficulties

    I seem to have great hit and miss (much more miss) difficulties embedding videos on here (and email).

    For example, this should embed a Jeff Beck video (copied the link from Share - embed):
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWwsd5APlgw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


    Yesterday I was able to get another one working, but when I tried to do it again later (same link - to prove a point) it wouldn't work.

    ¿Que?

    Without the last code block:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWwsd5APlgw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

    This was the successful embed:
    https://www.woodworkforums.com/f43/de...31#post1955366

    So, I'll try to do it again:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_jQGrpNXAqc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Nope, as I thought.

    and a normal link (offered by YT in share):
    https://youtu.be/_jQGrpNXAqc

    Brett, I have no issues. . .

    From Youtube, Share, then highlite the code

    Then in the forum, click on the "Insert Video" icon and paste the code.

    Dunno, maybe a software upgrade or an unintended consequence of an update.
