  I embed a youtube video with a time start of 2 minutes ahead. When my page loads it has the correct start time, but as it continues to load it resets itself almost immediately and starts at the beginning.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there – To do that, use the shortcode as specified here:

  For your video, it’d be:

  But with only one set of brackets, obviously. ;)

  Thanks for your quick response.

  I copied the shortcode (minus the extra brackets) and inserted that directly into my post. It still doesn’t work. I even went so far as clearing out my cache and cookies but it still starts from the beginning.

  Fell free to look and tell me if i made some mistake.

  It still does what it did before. It loads at the right time…then it continues to load the vid screen blinks and starts at the beginning.

  If you scroll down while it’s loading you can see it do it.

  Hi there – after some trial and error, this seems to be a conflict with WordAds. I’ve reported it to the WordAds team and will let you know what I hear. Thanks for reporting it!
