Thread: How do I post a video??

All you have to do is insert the link to the Youtube video, no code is needed.

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lZ1FZVM40w

for example.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1_PDwWtQQM&feature=player_embedded"]How to use a hand-stitched rasp on wood - example # 1 in furniture making - YouTube[/ame]

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1_PDwWtQQM

Don't paste the embedding code.

Just copy and paste the page URL from the address bar.

Thanks Geoff. Yeah, but I wanted to have the first frame if the vid in the post, because it looks a bit more interesting.

Thanks DJ, but Hmmm. When I paste the following (copied the url) without the spaces

http : // w ww.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=g1_PDwWtQQM

I get this:

Do you have Display Images set in your user profile?
It's under Options -> Thread Display Options

As per DJs instructions
(compare your URL code with that in DJs code box)


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1_PDwWtQQM"]How to use a hand-stitched rasp on wood - example # 1 in furniture making - YouTube[/ame]

Try using the URL that I've posted in the code box in my post above without the "feature=endscreen&NR=1&" bit in it.

I must have Geoff (I will check) because I can see DJ's and Fred's image. Checked, and ok.

Fred, DJ, yes I spotted that difference as soon as I posted, so I guess you gotta know to take that bit out. Problem is, I'll forget that by the next time I do it!

Let's see what this does.

OH MAN! Try again. This is what I just posted

Here it is again:

I have copied the URL code in your link and pasted it in here

Well that's just bloddy bizarre. Before editing, the previous post just had "blah, blah" and linked to youtube. Then I edited from "Oh Man" onwards, repasted the link, and now they're both displaying the image.

What have you been seeing?????

It just had the underlined link, not the first screen of Youtube, now there are 2 Youtube screens.

You been hitting the red Brett?

You been hitting the red Brett? Well, no, actually, it's only 5.40. I've always taken my lead from the Major in Fawlty, and 6 O'clock it is (well today anyway)

Anyway, thanks for your input chaps. Still bloody bizarre though.

Oh yeah. Watch the vid - it shouldn't be too hard to find now.

I've also found on some vbulletin forums you can't use the quick reply to insert video links.. must use the 'go advanced' reply.
