Suggestion: Fix YouTube Media on ask questions

[Deleted member 546149]

Whenever a video is posted it does not form as media. I'm calling on the developers of GBAtemp to fix this. Thank you, and nice day- WiiMiiSwitch

I didn't try anything, I just picked the first video that came to mind - and obviously it worked.

Yep I think Polly is drunk or something YouTube videos have always worked.

As noted in the title, he's referring to the Ask section, not the forums

And AFAIK it's meant to be that way, things like the Ask section aren't meant to have automatically embedded videos and such, although it automatically converting things to media tags is probably an unintended bug. The same thing happens in the shitbox when you post Twitter links, it wraps it in the Twitter tags.

The problem is that the link is also broken, so others can't see

Ah yes you are actually right he did say the ask section but why would you need to post YouTube videos there in the first place lol.

If the video answers the question, it could come to use

Youtube videos should never be used to answer questions. It's an unwritten rule here on the temp as the info in them is either wrong or out of date.

Ah, I didn't connect "on ask questions" as "in the ask section" my bad!

Yeah, not comverting it to a media tag would probably be the best way, and something for @shaunj66 or @tj_cool
