Thank you for your forum and thank you for the story behind Amazing Grace. My question concerns clicking thru to Youtube.
The videos are shown on the page correctly; however, when they are clicked to be watched you are taken directly to Youtube. The viewer does not view the video at the site. Is this normal or the way that the plugin is designed to work? Thank you for your assistance.
Hi, are we saying here that the person has used the YouTube "share" link ie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345 on their own page rather than using httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345 ???
I have used the httpv type link above on my pages and find that you click on it once to start and view the videot, and then you can click on the video again and it will take you away from my page and through to the page on YouTube. Can this be prevented?. That is, I would like to have it embedded on my page, but no click through to YouTube?

Exactly, the URL should be embedded like in your second example.
