The problems with embedding youtube (again)

I've just tried to embed a youtube vid and have struggled once again. I have succeeded It before but on occasions it just seems to baffle all logic. I've taken the copy link location and made sure it was just everything after the = sign, no go. Right thinks I use the embed code which has no = sign in it no go. No spaces between the code and the parenthesis like the instruction vid says As I look through many threads I see I am not the only one struggling yet I am sure I've done everything right and as I say have succeeded before. Is there a way of simplifying the process to make it a straight forward cut and paste?

Sometimes there's another = sign with numbers/letters after it and you have to stop your cut before that. Sounds like you may have done that though?

If you want u2u me the whole string and I'll see if I can tell where you are going wrong. Peace.

After the '=' in the address, copy the sequence and include the '&' and that's it.

Hit the quote button on my post and you will see the code:

This won't work for this video: fguwkz6BQvQ

This will work: fguwkz6BQvQ&

Here is the link to this vid:
www.youtube.com...

And here is the embed:

Here you go....its easy...really

This is whats in the address bar right...

http:// www. youtube. com/watch?v=d7r9RqWBdl8 (without the spaces)

All you want to copy (right click and highlight) is the bit after equals....the red bit

http:// www .youtube.com/watch?v=d7r9RqWBdl8

Once you have copied the red bit

Paste it into the box that says "Vid:Youtube"


Thats it.....it will work as long as you do that.

SOME Youtube id's a funny....they should work and have done for me...by funny i mean they will have words and symbols in the bit after the =


EDIT: Heres the video just so you dont think im cheating haha....its a piss take of Call Of Duty
