Hello,

Where did you enable html? In the admin panel or your profile?

There are two places you must go to enable html.

One is in the admin panel and enables html for the whole forum. To enable html for the whole forum, go to:

Acp-->General-->Messages and Emails-->Configuration-->Allow html: tick yes and save.

The second place is in your profile, this needs to be set by the inidivual user in their profile.

To enable html in your profile, go to: Profile (edit profile, not view profile)-->Prefrences-->Allow html?: Tick yes and save.

If you have html enabled in both of those places, the html should work for you on your forum.

is your problem solved or still not ?
try this Script for youtube links it will convert youtube links to embed video by it self with out the embed code from youtube just put the link in topic
to JavaScript add this Script blow in topics only name it what ever you like

Code:

jQuery(function(){



   var width = "560";

   var height = "315";

   jQuery('.postbody a[href*="youtube.com/watch"]').each(function(){

      var watchid = jQuery(this).attr('href').split("v=")[1].split("&")[0];                                

      jQuery(this).html("<br><iframe width="+width+"
height="+height+" src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/"+watchid+"
frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe><br>");  

   });

});

thanks
