Youtube videos

****Please note that you no longer have to do this as simply putting the Youtube URL will work****

If you are trying to post a link to a Youtube video then you can now embed this in your post.

To do this you need to find the URL of the video you wish you use. You need to then use the Youtube tags as below and put everything AFTER the www.youtube.com.

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

[youtube]/watch?v=U-zjnVmuTzs&p=9AFD90276E1D45A7&playnext=1&index=17[/youtube]

Will give you this terrific Satriani video:

[youtube]/watch?v=U-zjnVmuTzs&p=9AFD90276E1D45A7&playnext=1&index=17[/youtube]

Check it out!

Yep sure:

So in your example above you take this part of the link you have posted:

/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ

and place this in between the Youtube tags like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube]/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ[/youtube]

Which then gives you this:

[youtube]/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ[/youtube]

I think my problem is I don't know where the "youtube tags" are

where are they

are they on the forum

sorry about this, but I think posting the video is what I want to do, not just the link

just write it before and after the link - literally type

Code: Select all

[youtube]

and after the link close it by doing this

Code: Select all

[/youtube]

it didn't work

Remove the http://www.YouTube.com and leave everything after it and do not have spaces in the closing tags

It will then work
