Re: Trying to post a YouTube video
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

Re: Trying to post a YouTube video
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:
So it should look always like this:
Once posted there is also sometime to edit as well.

Sometimes YouTube links look like this:
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.youtube.com/watch?v=-r-UtIffUnw&feature=feedrec_grec_index
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.[youtube]

It's 2:00am in the morning. Really tried...but since you posted it I need to play it. Awesome song.
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.
