Okay so I have spent about two hours trying to figure out how to post a video from youtube. I want to know how to do it so that you can watch the video directley from the post without leaving the forums to see it. I have tried the "imbed" option at youtube....copy and paste into post... no good. tried the url...copy/past...no good.
tried the "CODE TAGS".... nothing... and I say all this doesn't work just because after I "preview post" I don't see the video, all I see is the imbedding code... no actual video.
What am I missing?? I have even watched youtube videos telling me how to do it, to no avail.
It really isn't all that important, but I think it's my OCD kicking in... I can't figure it out and so now I HAVE to know how to do it! Especially with a couple hours trying to figure it out.:D

If in the beginning of time, the world was filled with thousands of "me's", sometimes I wonder if I could have invented the wheel....let alone computers and technology.:shakehead:
 
Embedding requires the code

Link is ."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7PaHaGNeLk"

Would I have to put the whole [youtubehq].... or would the affore mentioned [ythq] code work as well?


Don't forget [vimeo] as well!

Is this another video site? And substituting [vimeo] instead of the youtube?

The whole code. It's how our s/w knows how to display the different formats. ythq won't work.
Is this another video site?
Yes - Vimeo, Video Sharing For You.
And substituting [vimeo] instead of the youtube?
Yes

All the codes with examples are listed near the bottom of this page: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode
