What am I doing wrong please? It's probably the most obvious mistake.

Well ... I do have the link ... so I will try for second mpost obvious mistake.



I click YouTube in the top right corner ... two YouTube brackets show up with the cursor in the middle. I paste the link inside the brackets but ... ?

Many thanks for assisting.

Hiya Angel

I had to figure it out myself. When your typing your post/reply if you look to the far right you'll see the youtube button. click that... [youtube][/youtube] < this should appear copy the link in the addy bar, then paste it between in the center of the youtube code like this [youtube] paste the link between this [/youtube] but make sure there are no spaces. This should get the video to appear when you post . Give it a try

Many thanks quentin ...I'm afraid that's how I did it though ... twice but I will try again since your intention added some magic to the mix.

Your welcome . Vic had to fix all my youtube links lol . Thankfully I don't post that many "Im gonna load you up with youtube links Vic, keep ya busy" lol

Good question.

The trick with YouTube links is to only have the bare minimum part of the link.

I think in this case it's the "/" at the end which is causing the trouble. It may work in a browser, but not on the board.

Here you go:

Sometimes YouTube links look like this:

youtube.com/watch?v=-r-UtIffUnw&feature=feedrec_grec_index

Everything after and including the "&" needs to be removed. All we need are the numbers and letters after the "=" sign that is really part of the link.

So it should look always like this:

Also, sometimes the text of your link does this and it won't work until you fix it and put all of it on the one line:

A good idea when posting tricky things is to use the preview button and see how it all looks.

Once posted there is also sometime to edit as well.

Thanks Vic! I got it!

Good stuff!

The bridge of that demo sounds like something The Sweet would do.
