  • How to post Youtube videos

    You put the video string in a special BBcode tag. For example, if you have this video URL:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omKLh0k9gUI

    The omKLh0k9gUI is what identifies that specific video on youtube.

    You put it in the tag like this (replace {}'s with []'s):

    {video=youtube;omKLh0k9gUI}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omKLh0k9gUI{/video}

    When you save the post, the forum will embed the video in the page, like this:

    You can also use the Insert Video button icon that could be found in the tool bar.

      Cripper,

      That Insert Video button icon does not work. You must type out the above code that RJH (webmaster) mentioned in the 1st post of this thread.

      I hope that we are able to correct this website issue (so that that button actually works) after the upcoming officers election, with a new and updated website.

            The insert video button has never worked, because we don't enable embedded HTML in posts for security reasons. The workaround is to use the instructions in the first post of this thread - you can cut-and-paste the video number into the tags. You can create a link to the video just like any other URL by pasting the entire video URL into your post, but the only way to EMBED the video (so it shows up within the thread) is to use the method above.

            Enabling embedded HTML just to make it easier to post videos is a bad idea - that's one of the 2 main ways people break into sites like this.
