  2. Click "Submit new topic"
  3. Note error
  4. This also occurs when editing an existing post

^ That's what happens when I paste the link.

I've never had problems, but I don't think I've ever linked a short. Full vid links still work.

I'm no help here. Just found it interesting that full vid links work, but shorts links seem to break.

The error is interesting, but the engine isn't built to embed shorts. I'll look into it.

This is fixed. I also excluded channel links, which caused the same error.

How do you post a YouTube link where the thumbnail shows up in the post?

If you paste just the straight URL of the video (copy from browser or use share -> link in the app), it will embed the video.
