Anyone know how to post a link to a YouTube video, but not have the video embedded in the thread?

Hmmm, sometimes posting the link posts just the link, sometimes it embeds the video for me.

Even if you use the "Insert Hyperlink" button, it tries to embed the video.

And even if you leave off the "http://" part.

Cera just posted a LINK on a different thread.  We may have to ask her how she did it.

This is the link Cera used:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwqv_ZJrp6U&feature=youtu.be

So let me test that last part with another YT video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEPA22ja0MU&feature=youtu.be

And then without &feature=youtu.be:



Okay, so placing &feature=youtu.be after the YT url will result in the video not being embedded in the thread.

I had to post to see the result, as preview doesn't give me an idea.
