There is a "youtube" button on the Post a reply page, but I can't get it to work. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

It works fine but you only put in the string of letters and numbers after the ''/''.

ooooooooh, I see.
Thanks Guil! *thumbsup*

...and it has to be a link created on the YT page by clicking "Share". Not copied from the address bar. :geeknew:

I think it is better to show the actual code on how the youtube tags work in the forum instead of posting links to videos :smileynew:

This is how it's supposed to look if you want to embed a youtube video in a post using the youtube button with the original video as an example:

Code: Select all

That's the beauty of humanity, people have different opinions and none of them are wrong.

If I have learned anything from reading this forum recently, this is where I am supposed to rant about how this is all Giants fault and rage that they aren't fixing it fast enough, then call one of you a name. These are exciting times to be a Moderator.

You are both gentlemen, thanks for the help.

That's why we don't see them writing much, besides on topics they can actually help out on ^^
