#1 Add YouTube videos to your posts

Just added a function to embed YouTube videos into posts - they will appear thus:



Just click on the Play button in the middle of the screen.

If you want to post a video proceed as follows:

1. Create a new post
2. Click YouTube button
3. Paste the YouTube URL link after the "[youtube]"
4. Click the YouTube button again
5. Click Preview and you should be able to view the video
6. 'Link' takes you direct to YouTube if you want
7. If it does not appear try removing the 's' from https so it reads http://

Have fun!

I hope it is disabled in the Collectors forum David - the combination of video capability and 'glamour' submissions might lead to some old classics overheating and blowing a gasket. We already have dribbles and leaks to look forward to... :-)

If I have the choice, I'll get the car, if not ? I'll go away and as far as I can...
Not the same for Marisa Mell. She is an evidence. The first view of her orange tunic is just fantastic and diabolic !

I know this was something to do with E Types but was there one in the video.

Hello Heuer,
Could you pl help me with the Fuel tank removal/refit video which I have just posted?
I followed your instructions as best I could, although eg I couldn't find the YouTube button you referred to so just used the media one. Anyway it won't play for some reason, even though it has been up on YouTube for a few weeks and is working well there.
Hope I haven't done something daft!
Many thanks
Martin

Seems to be working for me. You did have a rogue second link which did not work and I deleted it to tidy things up.

Thank you David.
The rogue link was the one that resulted from me following the instructions, but thanks anyway for deleting it. The working link was my second attempt, and just a simple cut & paste of the YouTube address.
Maybe I was over complicating it!

I changed the Forum software to recognise YouTube URL links without needing to use the 'media' button. Makes life simpler for everyone.
