Yeah, I flagged this last week. Someone else said it happens to them sometimes too.

There is a ghost in the machine!

I think it’s something to do with how links are posted. If you use the insert/edit link button it knackers up, if you just paste the URL into the body of the post it doesn’t.

so which of you bellends can’t post a video properly? Let the witch-hunt begin.

He’d be too busy following a shit England round Europe, spunking fivers up a French Wall and whoring himself round every spamming advertiser in christendom.

Nope it’s not that. One of mine did it after I’d started pasting the url into the body.

It starts to go wrong on the Blodwyn Pig video I posted…but there’s nothing I’ve done to cause it…simply posted the url…nothing else.

I’ve thrown all the members into a lake and the one that floated was won ton.

Just this once, I will resist the cries of ā€œBurn him! Burn him!ā€

I’ve edited the errant post now, so it should be OK.

won ton, a quirk of our site is that you only need paste the link to the YouTube video, you don’t need to create a link to the video. In fact if you do, the hounds of hell will be unleashed (well Fatstuff and 'slowlane at any rate).

Fucking won ton.

Wrong un, more like.

Meanwhile…

Yeah think the quirk on the site is getting it on with a quirk on my Kindle. I’ll try posting a link directly, but that didn’t embed the video when I first started posting.

Ok, how do I post a link using a touchscreen? When I hold the screen down on either my Kindle or phone all I get is a menu which has insert link on it, can’t seem to paste.

Ahh, Won Ton, you’re not alone brother and you’ve found another quirk of our site.

I don’t know if this will work for you, and it’s a bit fiddly, but what I do is…

Tap in the editor (without holding your finger there) where you want to paste something and the ā€˜teardrop’ text-selection cursor should appear - see below:

Then I single tap the teardrop cursor (without holding your finger there) and you should get the paste menu. Like this.

This is on an android device, so your Kindle may well behave in the same way.

Give it a go and see if it works for you.

Cheers Bletch, that works!

Bada bing!

There is a school of thought that says that we are all in some sort of social experiment and that pap is watching how we work around the quirks.

There is also a school of thought that says that pap is just a lazy bastard.
