Been getting a lot of instances where the site is inaccesible recentely. Most an error code, I will write it down next time. Site tries to load, never does, ends up at white screen with error code.
No one can embed video using the usual method. Also tools for editing updates wont appear for me.
Seriously the site is missing something without embed videos. It's part of the vgpress advantage.
Embedding videos does still not work.

Unless he just posted a picture of a YouTube video, he did on ggweekly a few days ago or so.
I've done it too. See?
It's kinda a pain in the ass as you have to modify HTML to do it. I just copied the HTML in Leo's post, and changed the links to any video I wanted to post.
Here's the HTML:
<object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/x78V-NmZw1c" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"><param name="movie" value="www.youtube.com/v/x78V-NmZw1c" /><!--[if IE]><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x78V-NmZw1c"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /><![endif]--></object></p>
All you have to do is change the parts in bold to the link of any YT video you want to embed, and paste it in these three locations. Then copy and past the entire thing into the Source editor. You can also use the Toggle Editor.
Did you change then entire YT link, or just the part of the link in bold, Foolz? If you copy and paste the entire YT link, it won't work. Only copy the part after the v= from your browser bar of the YT video you want to embed, and paste it in the three bolded locations in the code above.

Just the parts in bold. I'll try again later, though.
Here's a more clear explanation.
This is a normal Youtube video link as would be seen in your browser's address bar:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eO5U_uN7DQ
Copy only the part after v= in that link:1eO5U_uN7DQ
Paste that part of the link into HTML code replacing all three bolded parts only:<object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/1eO5U_uN7DQ" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"><param name="movie" value="www.youtube.com/v/1eO5U_uN7DQ" /><!--[if IE]><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1eO5U_uN7DQ"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /><![endif]--></object></p>
^ This is now your new embed code for your YT video. Copy/paste into Source or toggle editor, and it should work. I hope this helps.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI didn't even notice that. Cool! That makes it even easier to fix now. Thanks, Yoda!
The editor hacked up my post several times whilst writing out a long reply to a post. I quote a lot and deleted the extraneous bits. It was fine and then at the end I noticed half my reply was cut off, the top half. Then I tried again and it hacked away the top part again. Not going to lie, it was pretty annoying. The only hiccup I noticed was that you could not highlight and delete text, instead I would have to put the cursor at the end and delete. It seemed to work okay but half my post was gone by the end and it was a pretty long reply.
