EDITED TO ADD: no need to do all this. Learned something new today. Thanks, Bart!
Morning! So, in fighting with the forum and posting videos, I learned that one trick is you can use the "video" icon at the far right of the row of icons above. Select YouTube as the provider from the drop-down lost, but in the ID box only put the garbled string of random-looking characters at the end of the link, the stuff after the last slash. That's the unique ID for that video and what the forum software wants to see. Click the insert button and Bob's yer uncle.
Struggle through those kinda-fiddly steps and you're rewarded with that nice preview window here and all that.

Here's one I enjoy very much; it was the version of this hauntingly beautiful song that I covered in my own poor way.

Mark,
I don't see any of the videos you posted???
Actually, your screen shot from above makes the process more complicated than it has to be. Simply copy the uTube address for the video and paste it into the message box along with any text you want to post. Done.....
Good luck!

EDITED TO ADD: okay, got it worked out. Thanks!
That doesn't work for me, Bart. When I do that I just get a text string of the link. It's clickable but no preview or anything. The method I showed is the only one that has ever worked for me.
Willem's post above had that problem but it looks like he just fixed it because now I see more than just a test link. That's why my suggestion, because the original post didn't work right when I saw it.

Okay, now I see. You can't use the share video URL, you have to get the full one from the top of the browser that has the ?watch=v part added.
Okay, learned something new today. Thanks! :silly:

So, back on topic: one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett covers, this one of a Guy Clark tune.

Interesting post.
I watched an episode of TV drama JAG the other day.
During it David James Elliot sang a great cover of Van Morrisons - Have I Told You Lately
I looked up Recommend A Lesson and was surprised there wasn't an entry for it.
It would mage a great lesson - Click This Link And Vote If Interested
