Stop Youtube Embedded Links Preview
 
When I post youtube links they often take up too much room by providing a preview of the vid. So here is a rough way to circumvent the pre views.

Here I copied a share link in youtube and pasted it into my post. As you can see there is a preview of the vid. When posted in HTML the link is automatically embedded for a preview.

Now to remove the preview I go to edit the post and click on the box Source. I then edit to move https:// to the front of the link.

Now the link is not embedded when you post it.

Seems to work like facebook links, if you clip off the https:// the preview doesn't apear

Don't think many forum members are bothered by the preview though.
