Weirdly if I copy the text and paste it into a blank Word document it actually ADDS an extra line.

this will ensure the text is pasted as you want with no extra lines - all the bold formatting copies over from word.

Let me know if this helps

Ah! Unfortunately it's not actually Word I'm using as I swiched to the Libre Office equivalent at the end of last month due to being asked to pay £8.49 a month to continue to use Office 365.

Also is there a preview option before posting to allow me to check what way it will look? At this stage I'm thinking the easiest thing to do would be to just add links to the other forums that I post on.

Just downloaded Libra Office and added the below, formatted bold by CTRL+B

Copy / pasting into here - looks good - am I missing something?

thats the big plus now, no need to previous. What you see in the editor is actually what gets posted.
Press CTRL+B on a piece of text, no more tags - it auto bolds. The same as it does in LibraOffice Write and MS Word

Anything else missing we can work through together

Problem solved! And it was actually really simple....

I post the charts in three forums. As I said with the other 2 it is a matter of copying from the notepad and pasting directly to them. What I have just realised is that if I then copy the content of one of these and paste that into the thread here it is formatted as I want it to appear. It only takes a few seconds.

I've found on mobile that if you press into the text box and select to "paste" the link it will appear as a video. If you paste from the clipboard directly it doesn't work and only hyperlinks. Always thought it was a me thing but it did when I upgraded my phone

isnt selecting paste the same as pasting from the clipboard? Let me know how you do this and will try to re-create!

Kinda hard to explain without a demo ha. When I press into the blank space in the text box and press paste it works. If the link auto-populates from the clipboard in the suggestions bar above the keyboard then it doesn't work? (As pictured). It creates a text version of the link which then hyperlinks after clicking away/space bar

you take the URL from the URL bar and paste directly into the post editor

Still doesn't work for me. If I copy & paste the full URL this is what happens:

Rossi. X Jazzy - High On Me (Official Video)

So I tried taking out the https but that doesn't work either:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7wHQMmqQa4

If I copy and paste that URL into this message, add https:// at the start, and then hit Return from the end of it, it converts to a youtube embed.

I found that doing what Jim suggested above worked (as it had always done for me anyway) but that if I accidentally tapped the blue globe icon in the corner that it disappeared and went back to being a link again.

So maybe you tapped that blue box in the corner before accidentally and now it remembers to convert the link to text instead of an embed each time?

That appears to work! Thank you very much indeed D

I am currently struggling with Youtube embeds also — it's not been an issue before, strangely, but now they refuse to be anything other than a hyperlink

The method above doesn't want to work either

I found the same thing when hosting last month - I ended up opening up the link in youtube and then copying it over from there and it seemed to then work, no idea why
