I'm using the Youtube (opening) and backslash Youtube (closing) in square brackets codes, like I have for many years on forums like this.  It opens a little video window, but it is black, and if I click on the "play" symbol, I get "sorry, an error has occured."

Thanks in advance, and sorry if I'm doing something that is blindingly obviously stupid.
 
Oh, that happens to me but often it's a browser issue. I usually clean my cache/close the window and open a new one.
 
You mean like this?

Don't use the button, it doesn't work right.  First copy your link using the Share button below each YouTube video, for the one above I had this link   You have to type the code yourself [ youtube ]  Then paste your link removing the https://youtu.be leaving the rest so from my example above you'd be left with /kkc3q0ESuaA and then close it using [ /youtube ]  just without the spaces in the square brackets, I had to do that so you could see it. So you will have something like this, just with no spaces in it.

Your videos should then appear.
 
Thanks, but that's what I've done. I've done it on forums for a decade. I actually administrate a forum. Just doesn't work here, for some reason.

Also, Loaded, if i reply to your latest comment, it shows that the full url is included. That'd be why it does not work. Leave the youtube . com part out.
