How can I prevent Oneboxing in my post?

Onebox is a really useful piece of functionality provided within the forum, however, from time to time you may just want to simply display a hyperlink, or the full URL of your resource, rather than having it embedded within your post.


Prevent Oneboxing;

Ensure that the URL is not the only text on that line. You could add a bullet point before it, or wording either side of it, which ever is more appropriate;

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHg1_u6ptY

here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHg1_u6ptY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHg1_u6ptY <-- URL to our video


Additionally, use the Hyperlink icon on the Composer Toolbar to add a title for your URL, Markdown will then be applied to your URL to create the following in your draft;

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHg1_u6ptY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHg1_u6ptY)

which will display this once your have submitted your post;
