how to post a youtube video in a post?

[Fishguy2727]

Someone told me before but I can't remember. How do you post a youtube video in a post so that you just click the play button to watch (so you don't have to go to youtube to watch it)? Thanks in advance.

Embedded video. I have NO idea either and know someone here can help us out. Something in the tag......YT ......"something". Sorry but I don't know.

to the right of the video on youtube, there is a "Embed Link" just copy that :)

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezSVb19Ofzk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ezSVb19Ofzk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I copied the content in the 'Embed' block to the right of the video. What did I do wrong?

[Corndawg]

Hmmm I thought thats how I did it before. Other than that Im really not sure! Sorry! Maybe someone else will know...

[Fishguy2727]

I could have sworn the person who told me before said to:
ezSVb19Ofzk and the ... was the video number on youtube.

[Fishguy2727]

Without the spaces in the tags:
[ y t ] (the id for the video) [ / y t ]

For this one the id was:ezSVb19Ofzk, the end of the url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezSVb19Ofzk

hey that worked! is that a black moor? I used to have one about that big. He was such a active fish!

[Fishguy2727]

Yes, there is a black moor (imported from Bangkok) in there. It is doing very well, now the biggest in the tank. The body shape is shifting toward that of a ryukin's. The black is holding very well.

I am setting up my own little forum (for discussions about articles I have written, general care, etc.) and that tag is not working in that forum. Any ideas?

That tag doesn't exist in forums by default and have been added by me. Thats why it doesn't work in your forum.

[Fishguy2727]

How do I add it in my forum?

[Red]

LOL the video is great cocoa...

[William]

Depends. What forum software are you using?

[Fishguy2727]

It is on invisionfree.com

[William]

I don&#180;t think you can do it there. Can you edit BB code?

[Lady Hobbs]

How about the instructions in How To so we can check back when needed.
