How to put a youtube video in a thread.

[Steven Vaccaro]

To embed or see a video within a post, TRY the following.

First upload your video to www.youtube.com

than on the right side of the youtube video page you will find a box marked "url". Copy the text in the field.

For example it will look like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pNKBuz1MaQ

Then copy everything after the "watch?v=".
So in the above example we will use 2pNKBuz1MaQ

Then type the following but use yt instead of xx
[xx]insert what you copied above[/xx]

So in the above example we will have this
[xx]2pNKBuz1MaQ[/xx]

And if all goes right you will see the video below.

Ok, now I need a cool short rc boat video to use above, instead of that 6 minute one. Anyone have any suggestions?

I like it, do you happen to have it in full speed? Reason I ask is some new people may think its not working right if they see it in slow motion.

Jeff they are two different processes. Take a re-read on how it needs to be done in the forum and you will find its much different than a website.

Thanks for allowing us to use the Embed feature.

Its really not so much a vb feature, more of a programing change that I didnt know was possible. I thought at first I needed to update the vb forum. But I found some info while surfing on how to allow it. vb forums do all kinds of cool stuff, problem is that its all "Greek" to me. lol

I don't get how to post having a picture of the video rather than showing a link you need to click on...?

[Steven Vaccaro]

this is actually old and no longer correct.

Now its easier. Just look at the icons when you post, there is a small one that looks like a old film.

Click it and it will pop open a window with directions.

what a pity! I even cant get into WWW.YOUTUBE.COM

I don't know what the fuss is all about? Getting a link or getting a picture of the clip is the same thing, who ever wants to watch would have to click, either on the picture or on the link.
First you need to upload to you tube, that's how I did it. Then copy the link and paste it here .
Again, am I missing something as usual?
Your YOUTUBE link doesn't work, try lower case. www.youtube.com
