Australian Politics Forum - Insert Media Tab

goosecat Senior Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 477	Insert Media Tab Apr 28^th, 2024 at 5:36pm Not sure on FD's preference regarding usage of it but I would have thought having a tab restricted to SWF Adobe Flash files which have been unsupported for years might be due for an update. Or does the Tab support other formats?

Hmm, I did this:

and hit save and it appears blank. Guess I'm doing it wrong. Apologies not up on the file formats thing really. Even the reply to you, after the word this and the colon I hit the insert media tab then copied and pasted this youtube autoplay URL: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kZ8ZV3tbVGI in between, hit save and then that area in the reply is blank. Doesn't support that type of URL autoplay?

Pretty sure that is your brower's response to trying to load something it no longer supports. "Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported" by your browser.
