Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Didn't click on any of the links, but isn't that a missionary book?

They offer it as an ebook or you can come pick up a physical copy in Brooklyn, Manhattan,
Rockland County, or Lakewood. That doesn't sound like it would work well for missionaries.

They distributed it a while back and some of the frum neighborhoods, and an alert went out that it was missionary

Found a copy online. It does seem likely to be missionary material.

https://youtu.be/ntjkwIXWtrc?t=68

One of the largest companies in history runs a marketing campaign that exactly portrays the opposite of their core fanbase - the creatives. It's super tone deaf.
Not exactly headline worthy but definitely a fascinating blunder.

It's as if Corvette or Harley Davidson put out an ad featuring their vehicles being used in defensive driving, going 10 miles below speed limit etc etc... exactly the opposite of what their fans want
