Recently, a member asked me if it was possible to embed videos such as YouTube videos into posts like we use to have on the EMB.
Well the good news is that from now on, if you would like to add a YouTube video to your posts, all you have to do is the following:
1 - When you find the video you'd like from YouTube, copy the video number from the URL. For example If your video was here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqB4UdpUoGM
2 - Then copy the last 11 characters, in this case: LqB4UdpUoGM
3 - Then when you want to make your post, just click the YouTube button http://www.jewelkilcherforum.com/images/buttons/youtube.gif in the post editor.
4 - It will ask you to give it an option for your yt tag. This means to give it a title or name. In this case we call it 'Test'
5 - After you do this your Link will now look something like this:
In between the tags, PASTE THE 11 CHARACTER VIDEO CODE
6- Your link should now look something like this:
LqB4UdpUoGM
7 - Then you can submit your post when ready. You're YouTube video is now available for all to see without having to leave the forum!
Please note, the YouTube button is not available in 'Quick Reply' mode but you can type it manually if you wish.
Also, some people on YouTube do not make their videos 'embed' enabled. In these cases, this feature will not work.
This is how the video will look in your post
Have fun!
