Anyone help me with embedding a Youtube video? Follow the instructions on the Youtube site but what I copy and paste into the post doesn't change when I "preview post". Do I have to "Submit New Thread" to see the video?

Yes Steve, confusing ain't it, you need to paste as a link, hit the chain icon. Griff

It usually works if you review it.

Thanks Jim, managed to successfully link a rather maudlin video but I was touched by it!

all i get in the preview and submitted page is the URL

Some videos don't work for some reason. I am guessing it is the post parser.

However if it doesn't work try using this
then add the video ID.
Remove all the other parts of the URL
if it doesnt show the video i just leave the URL....a simple click opens it anyway :thumb:
