How many thousand times will we have to explain how to utube embed before..

Cool it STILL doesn't work for me? I am about ready to give up. I am not sure what I am doing wrong I think my computer just hates me.

Well off topic but I think this thread shows how the members of ATS are MORE than willing to help anyone out. I mean there was a literal explosion of helpful posts in ten minutes. Wow, what a great members ATS has.

Okay, Link the youtube video you are trying to embed and I will walk you through this.

Are you using the [yvid] [/y vid] brackets around the code?

No space between the letters (ie; yvid NOT y vid), I only did so it would not code.

Brackets BRACKETS?!?!? NO one said anything about no stinking brackets?!?!?!?

Do I need to put those brackets before and after the link?

reply to post by TurkeyBurgers


You're hitting the "YouTube VIDEO" button when you post a reply, pasting in those letters, and hitting okay?

Try doing [ yvid]code here[ /yvid] without the spaces after the left bracket.

reply to post by TurkeyBurgers


Yes, you MUST use the brackets.

reply to post by TurkeyBurgers


The brackets come up with you hit the "YouTube Video" button, paste in the code, and press okay. It inserts right into your post. Then you can post that.

Just hit "quote" on my post where I embedded your video. It will have the exact BB tags and youtube code in the reply box that is needed.

Hahaha no worries. Yep, that's where you paste the code that you get from the YouTube Video URL.

Glad you got it figured out now.

Applause!

I like this one for the History Channel myself.



Suggestion for the next series: The url tag.

Very long and complicated links don't work right without that because auto-linking only uses so many of the characters.
