Adding the Video Player from YouTube to your post
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 10:01 am
It isn't very intuitive to add the YouTube player to a forum post. I was fortunate that another member posted how to do it.
First, on the YouTube page for the video there is a link to "share". Click on that and copy the code.
Second, on our forum post form on the far right is a code box that says "youtube". Click on it and this appears in your post:
[youtube][/youtube]
Now, take the share code you copied, in this example it's:
http://youtu.be/p-Qhx-RjnLs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Remove all the code except what comes after the "/":
p-Qhx-RjnLs
This code is placed in-between the [youtube][/youtube] brackets:
(with no spacing between the brackets though)
[youtube] p-Qhx-RjnLs [/youtube]
And Ta Da!
