Embedding Video

[DakinechicK]

It has come to my attention that some of you are having a hard time embedding a video into your thread or post and would like to. So, I've written the following just for you....


Just paste the url in the box provided on here and it should embed itself.

If it does NOT, then here is a neat trick (ONLY FOR THOSE CAPABLE of understanding my explanation here ) .... when you go back to edit your post or even before you post it... your link will look something like

"http://www.youtube.com/v=S1sdtdvbMPg&feature=blahblahblahblahblah]"

or just
"http://www.youtube.com/v=S1sdtdvbMPg"


If you delete that silly nonsense between the "&feature=" and the "bracket" (this guy "]" ) and type in that space, player_embedded, it will work.

Or if it doesn't have the "&feature= ... just add it so it will look something like "http://ww.youtube.com/v=S1sdtbMPg&feature=player_embedded]


Do NOT use the "embed" feature on youtube or the "share" feature. They're stupid.

Please NOTE that This might be a hassle for most of you and not worth it, however, for others it might be beneficial or good to know which is why I'm sharing.

Anyway,
You're welcome.

I haven't had any issues, and I think this forum is the easiest one I've seen to do it. All I do is post the full link to the YouTube video, not the shortened one, and don't put any brackets or code around it. 90% of the time, it works every time.

Agreed. A lot of time it's no problem, but sometimes it is for some people. Just thought I'd do a write up just as a tip to help out. Of course it might be too much work but again, just a tip.

Definitly a good bit of info to have out there. I didn't know about that bit. It's nice to know if I have any troubles, there's another way to go about it. :thumbup:

Do you like to ski?I noticed a company named Dakine that makes ski gear.

Thanks for the "how to", the player embedded bit will come in handy for me

I believe she snowboards, and while Dakine may make ski gear, I've always associated it with snowboarding.

Hey I do neither lol, to me winter sports are 6th gear donuts on my banshee.I was pretty close for it being a product I was never exposed to.I saw the company when Tatty2012 posted his employee discount for us to use.
