Hi there again
Believe me, nothing ever stays the same, especially on the net & what was current only a few months back is now changed.
But change is good !
Getting a video into your post is sometimes trial & error but only with a couple of trial routines. You try one, if that one doesn't work, try a 2nd one & if that fails, drop me a line to sort it for you.
If you are viewing a video on youtube and you want to get it onto the forum, look at the url in the top of your browser whilst viewing that video.
I am looking at this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cO3A5uXY0&feature=related
Copy that url from your browser address bar & then in a new post hit the
icon above.
The forum will do its best to interpret that and this is the result:
Code:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cO3A5uXY0[/youtube]
This icon
works with other video hosting providers and sometimes when the wind is blowing in the right direction, you can select the icon & scroll down to youtu.be.com as a video hoster and paste in the url from the "Share" option on youtube that looks like this
http://youtu.be/I3cO3A5uXY0
Today the wind is not helping at all.
So as I say above, if the youtu.be.com url you have from the 'share' on youtube does not show nicely in the post you are constructing, try getting the address bar url from the top of your browser whilst watching the video on youtube and pasting that into the
icon.
But all of that will be a load of twoddle if you have disabled popups on your browser and when you click the
icon, you do not get a pop up!
But please remember, it is the forum that does the embedding & not what you paste into your post. You need to use the icons in the editor menu & let the mechanisms of the forum software do the embedding for you. Sadly this forum software is not the bees knees.
Hope that helps you (some one).
Ally
