Posting youtube videos?

Post by atcttge »

Ok, I've tried a number of times already. And yet the youtube video does not appear on my post. Only a link appears, not the video player itself.

This is wot I do:

1) I go to the youtube video and copy the link

2) I go here and post it in between the youtube tags ( [youtube] [/youtube] )

All I get after hitting submit is [youtube]<video URL>[/youtube]. No video player. As a result, I end up using the URL tags instead but that only shows a clickable link, not the video player.

Wot am I missing?

In case this is of any help to anyone ...

When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

He must've been brilliant if he could teach this old hippie how to do that. @) @) @)

You have to remember, Brigadier, there's lots of dummies like me out here that respond much better to video. :)

Did you notice that if you click to watch that video at youtube it's much clearer? Hmmm

Not sure about the Brilliant part....but yes indeed...there is nothing like a video to help move things along...don't you wish there were complete walk arounds ....they have pictorials.....which are also helpful...but with a video at least you know it's the same tank ;)

Didn't notice the difference in resolution....but what I do wish was available is a Zoom feature like some of the Auctions on EBAY have ;)
