I have a YOU TUBE question.
For years I was able to place YOU TUBE videos directly into S2KI posts so they played in that post.
I now seem to be unable to do that. I can place the YOU TUBE URL in a post so that the video will open and play in a new YOU TUBE window but not in my S2KI post.
Other people seem to be able to do this and I've tried everything I can think of...... and failed.
I don't know if this matters but I'm using Windows10 and my browser is Firefox.
Help....!!!

Is there a way to search the Marketplace but just the parts section? Whenever I search for a specific item, like 'radio' or 'shocks' every single car for sale comes up, and it's impossible to actually find anything specific because every car for sale lists all the parts on it and it overloads what I'm actually looking for. Since I'm only interested in parts I've found the new changes so tedious to look through the pages that I just don't even bother anymore, not to mention the huge pictures makes it that I have to scroll through 5-10 times as many pages as before and they don't add any value whatsoever to the marketplace. Mind you, I have a 17" screen, and find it cumbersome to the point of giving up.
1. How can I search just the parts and exclude the other 3 subforums?
2. Can you split the forums apart? Each one should be a separate search, putting Cars for Sale, Tires and Forced Induction as subforums is a real problem for searching the Marketplace.
Sorry if this was posted before but I can't find it.
thanks!

I recommend using our Advanced Search page to search individual forums. On this page, you can select to search only a specific forum via the "Search in Forums" option, as well as exclude that forum's sub-forums by un-checking the "Also search in child forums" box. This lets you, for example, search only the parts listed in Member S2000 Classifieds while excluding its sub-forums of Cars for Sale, Tires and Forced Induction, etc.

I cleaned up the thread by removing the broken images so everyone can now load it again. We're currently looking into what may have caused the photos to display as raw code like that. Just to clarify, when you say you copy/pasted the iCloud Photos, do you mean the URLs of the photos or the photos themselves?
After I downloaded them to my PC, I used the website image button successfully.That's what I'll do in the future.

Thanks for the additional details. Inserting images via the Image button is the best way to go, but copy/pasting shouldn't break posts as we saw it do. We're now seeing how to best prevent this issue in the future.

Thanks for the reply.
Below is a copy of the additional options with the "Automatically embed media " box checked [as you said it should be] that is visible when I try to add a YOUTUBE video to a post. .
But still, no matter what I do to put a video from their website into a reply to a thread in this forum it always ends up as a LINK that opens in a new window and not my post where I want it to open.
There is obviously something else I'm doing wrong with the"copy and paste" from the YOUTUBE website to this one.
Do you have any other suggestions?

By default, our forum software automatically embeds YouTube videos in posts to save people a click. However, if you prefer to keep your YouTube videos as a link that opens a new window, simply un-check the box labeled "Automatically embed media" on the full post editor page at the time you're writing your post. The option can be found under the Submit button, in a box labeled Additional Options.

Sorry, I think I misread your original post and was offering advice on how to make it a link and not embed it. By default, as long as "Automatically embed media" is checked, it should work. Just to clarify, are you not seeing YouTube videos embed when previewing your post before submitting it, or in the post's final posted form (in other words, after you hit 'submit')? If it's the latter, can you please pass along a link to a post of yours where the video didn't embed?
Thanks!
Thanks!
In a message preview the video shows as a link but does embed when the message is actually posted.
I never went past the message preview stage since they show as links there.
You may have misread my original post but your replies nevertheless got me straightened out...... Something my wife says is sometimes tough to do....!!!

This option is controlled via a setting on your User CP's Edit Options page (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions) called "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default." I went ahead and enabled this for you, so going forward you should now see all sent PMs in the Sent Items folder.
Thank you!
Thank you!
