    Hi Fuaranach,

    I've moved your post to Site Development so that it's easier to track progress and issues.

    Edit: Interestingly, on mobile, upandcumming's spacing of the YouTube BB code has no impact on the video's display and it appears perfectly. So just in case you're browsing on mobile, use (YouTube)WPzXr8kZR-M[/youtube] , replacing the first set of round brackets with square brackets.

An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
