Posting Facebook links [auto-embed full URL w/ http(S)://]

Post by Blue Cap »

Hi, I recently found some videos on Facebook I wanted to share on the site but not sure what is the right way to share it.
Should I just post the link directly or is there a specific command I need to input?

Cheers!

Normal FB links should be auto-embedded, no tags needed.

However paste your link a 2nd time in code tags next to quote (and B I U) so people can load the page in case the embed hiccups.

Auto-embed seems a little inconsistent, though, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Just make sure the http(s):// part is included in the link, then it will always work.
