Here is how to embed a YouTube Video in the Forum:

On the Posting page, use the "youtube" button and insert the Video ID for your YouTube video. You post should look like this...

Code: Select all

The above code will produce this...

Hi Capt. Marty,

Are you trying to embed YouTube Videos here in the Forum, or within the Fishing Report section?

[Capt Marty]

Here on forum, tried yesterday and could not get it to work.

Sorry for the delay...

YouTube videos are working...

Get the YouTube "Share" code. Go to the YouTube page of the video you want to post in our Forum. And click the "Share" button on the YouTube page. It will give you URL like the one you see below:

Code: Select all

http://youtu.be/H1LJT0aLBok

BUT, this code will NOT work in the Forum because of security measures. Instead, when you are ready to post, there is a "youtube" button on the Forum Posting Page/Form. Click that button to insert our special YouTube code - it will look like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube][/youtube]

Then, simply insert, between the YouTube tags, the "unique identification code" portion of the URL you obtained from the YouTube Share URL. After you insert the video's unique ID, the Forum YouTube Tag should look like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube]H1LJT0aLBok[/youtube]

And here is the result after you post the above code:

Hey Q,

You almost had it right... You had a blank space between the [youtube] tags and the youtube code.

I removed the blank spaces and it works... See above ^
