Why isn't my media embedding?

I just found out today that the media inside of the spoilers in my portfolio thread : GuestCapone, Freelancing 3D Artist and Modeler for hire - #5 does not embed, forcing the users to click each link to see the contents of each link. However if I post the media outside of the spoilers, it embeds. Why does this happen / how can I get my media to show in the drop down spoilers?

I fixed the thread for you, the problems were:

  • You were using [details] tags, use this structure instead:
<details><summary>Summary</summary>

...
</details>
  • There needs to be an empty line after the definition of the details tag (also depicted above), otherwise embeds won’t show up. This seems to be a bug in Discourse as far as I can tell.

Ah! Thank you, will keep this in mind for future reference.
