Hi
Could some kind soul tell me how to get videos into a post.
I did know how but Youtube has changed and the forum has changed and I am totally confused.
( nothing new)

cheers
Roy.
I used to be confused, now I just don't know.

Hi Roy...

There are a couple of ways. 1st way is to click the youtube button above the smileys and insert the text between the tags

Code: [Select]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_8zVfUqAds[/youtube]
would give you this:



You can also just paste in the part after /watch?= so in the above code it would be like this:

Code: [Select]
[youtube]t_8zVfUqAds[/youtube]


Hope that helps

Eric

Eric

Thanks for doing the explanation. I read it earlier and wanted to answer but I didn't know how to get the code to show properly so that I could explain it. I looked at how you did it so now I know too. I guess that you got 2 birds with one stone even though you had no idea there was a second bird in the bushes.  :lol: :lol:

Cheers  :beer:
