I can't post links or videos, Given we post lots of links to articles and videos of gameplay, not having this feature in the forums is death. Help. Please don't make this one of those features that takes weeks to get fixed.

Maybe it's a dumb idea, but are you also using Chrome? I am. I'll try Internet Exploder and see if it makes a difference.

I believe you're filling out the link form incorrectly. If you're providing a link to a specific URL, you need to be sure to click on "To a URL" instead of "To GameSpot Content".

As for video links, I can confirm that it doesn't work, @digitaldame@LarkAnderson. I'm getting the same error described by @lamprey263 in that GameSpot says it doesn't recognize the video service (to YouTube).

Chrome Browser Version 46.0.2490.86 m (clean install, no addons)
