Hi

I am having a bit of trouble getting youtube to work the way I want it.

How do I post a video that shows as a box with video in it. As apposed to a link?

Ive tried copying the embed option but can't get anything to work.

Thank's
 
Just use the insert link button above.
 
Just copy the you tube web page, then on the reply or post page click on the world/paper click link

A pop up then appears asking for the web page..paste in the youtube web page. simples


Is this what you are trying to post?

Yay thanks jimbeekeepeer.:hurray:
 
Well.....I just tried and it doesn't work for me

thanks for that Erichalfbee, it used to work as shown above people are more inclined to click on an embedded video rather than a link, sometimes you might not even notice the link posted.

However, somehow, the forum only turns youtube-links into a video in a frame when you use http:// , and not when you use https:// (In the latter case, it is turned into a clickable link).
