@brighternow, you're still being too complicated you don't need to tell it that it's a link, you just copy-paste the youtube link along with the rest of the message you're writing. The easiest possible way.
Maybe you need a newline at the end of it or something.
Anyway, I'm going to un-announce this thread now and let you return to your normally scheduled programming. Hopefully @xtrev will be along soon to meddle with DNS and pretty up the place a little.
Yours are still coming through as through they're a link (i.e. they're wrapped in the HTML link-making commands), which is not how it should be. Are you doing something other than just typing/pasting text into the comment box? Or are you using a weird browser that thinks it knows best? (I'm on firefox, fwiw.)
Oh, and the reason that some people's usernames are showing doubled up I think is because they have a link to an image as their avatar, but that avatar no longer exists. The forum now permits uploading your own, which is probably preferable.
Yeah, it looks like the wysiwyg editor turns it off. I guess the rationale being that it should look like what you get anyway, even though I bet it's not always the case.
Unfortunately, the options are either to have fancy editing on, or have the preview button available.
The editor doesn't work that well on my Nexus 7 either, however I switched to 'source view' (the right-most button) and that let me type things in directly.
Still experiencing some randomness with which threads go bold/yellow when they have updates. Two out of three threads with new posts showed the indicators this morning.
I see a point in having the whispers in an inbox. A whisper is essentially a private message to an individual. I think I remember rightly that a whisper did not necessarily bump the thread. I seem to remember that once I tried whispering to Craig that there was a MiG piece ready to edit, but it was an old thread and it did not bump to the front page so he didn't see it. Of course if instead you were using whispers as a hidden blog, it would make less sense.

ETA: Nope. Still nothing, and when I come in to edit, the link I put in doesn't appear.

Fuck ! - I give up.

- First link from IE and second link from Crome - exactly the same thing.
Edit in Crome:
Same thing, posted once, nothing - posted twice, bingo !
Apparently not
I will miss the whisper function and I fail to see the point in having them gathered in an inbox.
They should be together with the posts they were whispered to.
The edit time limit is still on, on the whispers.
The linky does work and it won't just dump you off at a 404 page if you do it correctly
I guess Wordpress will someday rule the world
if you type in the full correct name @Brighternow it links to something maybe your profile
Lets give it a try
Yes it does, but why am I allowed to post comments on BN's profile
