    Lately, I've noticed a lot of people having trouble posting up videos from youtube. I'll leave this thread up here as reference, since the off-topic forum tends to have a lot more videos in it.


    1. When you find a video you want to post, find the URL that is found right next to the video:

    <div align="center">[​IMG]</div>

    2. Within the URL is a code that you need to find. The series of numbers/letters after "v=" is what you're looking for:

    <div align="center">[​IMG]</div>

    3. Insert that code within the youtube tags:

    <div align="center">[​IMG]</div>


    And voila....

    <div align="center">Invalid Video Link</div>

    Just had to try it out...

    Invalid Video Link

    Thanks Chutney.

    EDIT: Nevermind. [​IMG]



    -----------------------------
    Check the tutorial again. You just have to put in the series of letters/numbers/dashes after "v=."

    <div class="quote_poster">bravest Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Just had to try it out...

    <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-96xRo47aQ&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-96xRo47aQ&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

    Thanks Chutney.

    EDIT: Nevermind. [​IMG]</div>You only have to put the portion of the URL that's after the equals sign in the [youtube] tags, not the entire thing.

    Damn, two hours?? What connection do you have? Usually even the biggest uploads only take 4 or 5 minutes.

    [​IMG]<-- click this button on editor (to the right of the smiley)</p>

    You paste the URL from YouTube, as explained in the first post, in the popup dialog for the editor. Click the insert button.</p>

    I am going to implement the [youtube][/youtube] bbcode as well. </p>

    Embedding doesn't work for me initially, but if I hit edit and save after I originally post it works fine.
