Embedding YouTube Videos in Forum Posts

Post by logan2z » Tue Feb 07, 2017 9:53 pm

Just a quick note on how to embed YouTube videos in forum posts:

To embed a video grab the video's id from the 'share' link provided by YouTube. The video id is the part in red in the following example:

https://youtu.be/cYv8bY141TA

To embed the video in a post just surround the video id with the youtube tags like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube]cYv8bY141TA[/youtube]
Don't put anything else between the youtube tags.

That will result in the video appearing like this in your post:



There was a problem with the way the code for embedded YouTube videos was being generated on the new forum and that was resulting in odd thread formatting. That should be fixed now. The embedded videos will also now be viewable in fullscreen mode.

Andrew is the best thing that has happened to this forum. Do you know how long you guys would have to live with the forum down if I was the only one managing it? It'd likely still be down now.
