Can't embed youtube videos: "Your message contains too few characters." 

Post#1 » by Mr Funk » Sat Apr 9, 2016 7:43 pm

Has anyone else encountered this problem in the last day or so?

It's pretty annoying. Every time I've tried to either preview or submit a reply, the body of the reply becomes blank in both the preview or when you click reply, and this line of text appears: "Your message contains too few characters."

Yes, that problem has happened to others.

I believe it's related to the explanation you can find here. I've made an admin aware of the issue, so it's just a matter of waiting for it to be fixed.

In the meantime, I suppose the best idea is to save a draft of the posts somewhere, so that the content isn't wiped out by that error.

Sorry if this post was redundant. Looking forward to it being fixed.

It will let me post pictures using "Img" but if I put it in a spoiler I still get "too few characters" message

Yep, same problem for me, it is still not fixed. If I use the YouTube tag I get the "too few characters" message (even with other original text in the message, not inside the tag). OS X Safari Version 9.0.3 (11601.4.4)
