    I'm using an iPad. Running safari.

    1- when YouTube videos are embedded, 90% of the time they don't show up.

    When they do, half the time they "won't work in safety mode"

    Any ideas?

    2 - I can't figure out how to reveal spoilers !? Copying doesn't work...and obviously I don't have a mouse....

    Moved to Site Dev.

    For your second question - just tap on the covered text to reveal the hidden text.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Tapping on it doesn't seem to do anything.....

    This is likely due to a setting on your YouTube profile, visit YouTube.com and change your account preferences to disable safety mode. More here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/174084?hl=en

    I assume you're using the full site and not the touch site? I don't believe we have functionality on the full site to show spoilers without a mouse, but I'll see if I can find anything.

    For me on the touch site, I just hold down on the spoiler for a second. I think it varies depending on your device. It works for me on my Moto G, it didn't work on my old Sony Xperia.

    Yep, the functionality is built into the touch site as it was considered as part of the use case. Unfortunately when the desktop site was rebuilt, there was much thought to it being used on tablets, so the spoilers there didn't receive the same functionality.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
