Is there any specific reason why i cant embed videos, or link anything or insert media while on NS in Firefox? I do not get any windows for embedding or inserting media. I've tried turning off pop-up blocker and when i need to i try to use internet explorer (ie7 i believe). but with explorer i get the pop up for embedding video, i put in the embed code and press add video, but it does not appear in my post.

any help would be appreciated

cant tell you whats wrong but go to "My NS" and turn of Fancy Editor, your time here will get 10x easier
if you do that you just [img]paste the image location here[/img]

copy and paste video embed codes

I know how to use [img] [/img] but how do you embed a video without using the embed button on Fancy GUI editor?

What site are you trying to embed from? I know Vimeo changed and you have to use their old embed code.

Ash, I tried from Youtube on the official post a picture thread.  I copied the embed code from Youtube, and pasted it without "[img] ... [/img]".  All I did was paste the embed code as text.  It turned the text into a link but did not display media player.  I have tried this a couple of different ways and it never works.  Firefox will not open the fancy gui embed function.  I have been having to use IE to embed vids.  Kind of a pain in the ass.
