HOWTO: Embed Youtube videos in forum postings

Post by the289admin »

If you find a good video and want to share it, here is a tip.

First off - if you think it is worthy of keeping on record for historical or information purposes, please put it in the video section of the wiki, here: http://wiki.the289register.com/doku.php?id=videos

If you just want to share it on the forum, I've added a 'youtube' button at the top of the posting window. Here's what you need to do. Click the images below to enlarge:

1. Go to the Youtube video you want to share, and copy the video ID that you find in the address bar at the top. The video ID is the set of characters after "youtube.com/watch?v="

2. Start your forum posting, and click the Youtube button above the editing window. This will cause two [ youtube ] tags to appear. Paste the video ID you copied in step 1 between these 'tags'.

3. Click 'submit' or 'preview' under your posting to see the results!
