Put tags around the URL. Make sure to remove the 's' from https:// portion of the URL, it should be http://.

And no more than 3 videos per post please.  It causes some people problems if they have a slow connection

You can't really do that. It has to be those 11 letters you see on a YouTube link, so that it would be valid.

Exactly, same thing happens with my browser.

Same with mine. It slows down the loading of the entire page when there are too many Youtubes in one post.

And it has been suggested in the past that when quoting Youtube embeddings, to take it/them out of the quote, just so that the page doesn't load too slowly.

In fact, we talked about it in this thread: http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=38754.0

It would be nice if we could do that for images as well. Quoting one image is okay, quoting 20 images is a problem though.

Then it takes forever and slows down the computer.

To serve as a reminder for YouTube videos:

Only post the last part of the URL between the .tube]
.
tube]

For instance:

https://youtu.be/_uk2LkW2tm8

As: .tube]_uk2LkW2tm8.tube]
Producing: _uk2LkW2tm8

It is no use for me. No matter how it is put in all I see is a 3/4" x 4" vertical Black line, no videos.

Ah, so I'm not the only one with this issue.

To give an example of what I see here is what Philip Eno's post from 4 days ago looks like on my screen.

Just a black upright box.
