Here is a step by step guide on how to how to post your pictures, Gifs, and videos from different sites.

Recently the youtube shortcut links I try to post here don't seem to produce a thumbnail. It seems the type of link they produce is different than what it used to be. I have found a couple of ways around this but I would appreciate any suggestions. I can now change the link so it makes a thumbnail but it no longer autoplays like it used to. Here is what I got ( I have inserted "X" to allow the good links to display ) :
The email link I got from youtube : https://youtu.be/9PnbKL3wuH4
When I place within youtube brackets it will not display the youtube thumbnail.

This doesn't work.
