    I am not sure I understand your question.
    Style #2 is not supposed to show the link. It shows embedded youtube video in your post. Clicking "Youtube" logo at the bottom of the embedded player takes you to the actual youtube.com page with your video.
    Do you see embedded video in your own post?
    For me it looks like this:

    ...

    Perhaps this is what he means?
    Or not....
    ?

    This is how I do that thing, there, the top part, um.... which gives a film clip viewable inside the forum.....

    That damned message flash is out of date thing just makes me crazy.
    I never know if my flash views are screwed because I am not in USA, or if China has blocked it or, uh, my GNU+Linux flash is _permanently_ un-supported or there is some difference between my browser and the originator....
    And too, sometimes a flash when clicked just displays, for me, blackness inside a frame..... And that tells me nothing.
    Yeah Flash sure is un-secure. I want to see HTML5 become the norm so I don't have to look at flash anymore... And HTML5 sites are, sometimes very beautiful and will get better and better looking as web devs get used to it.

    I really like youtube, it is what I have instead of a TV. NIce to have in the winter, especially.
    Are you still running windows XP?
