Notable quote:
The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O'Keefe's and Ms. Giles's comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.

I don't think I did anything different, it just didn't work that time. I copied it from the "share" button just like always, but it just showed the code once I posted it. That's why I ended up linking the video.

Maybe it's a glitch or something, I don't know.

EDIT: On a hunch I just went back and tried it again except I switched to html mode and it worked (I clicked "edit discussion" on the right, then clicked over from the default "Rich Text" tab to the "HTML" tab above the edit field). It seems you can only do that if you are actually starting the topic, so I don't know how that would help if you are replying to a thread.; ▶ Reply to This
