Yeah I've tried that too and it still just shows up as a link to the video in the "preview" window.

Just test posted a few times and it included the thumbnail. Not sure why. Type "YouTube" in the text?

Strange - still not working for me using the link icon. I thought it might be my browser (Safari), so tried it on another browser (Firefox) but results are the same.

So I just tried it on the test forum, and even though the "preview" window did not show the video as embedded, after I posted it, the video was embedded, so I guess it has something to do with the "preview" window not showing what the post actually looks like.

Thanks for your help EasternShoreDefender!
