hey guys quick question.. so how do you do it i need to know. i tried doing it for my puppy video, but was unable to. how would i embed a youtube video in the original post of a thread like the one im writing in now?

Click on the video icon in the editor toolbar, paste youtube link in URL field, then click insert.

Or, if like me you hate rich text editors, just disable javascript and use YT's own embed code.

1. Go to youTube and find your video.
2. On the right hand side of the screen where it gives you the video description under the description you will see two fields, one that says URL and one that says embed.
3. Click in the embed text field
4. Right click -> copy or ctrl+c
5. Paste the copied text into these forums.
6. success!

Note that if that doesn't work, just press the edit button on your post and then click post and that will fix it (you don't actually have to edit anything).

thanks guys

wow, ok thanks!

i was doing what you listed yesterday when i was trying to upload my puppy video, but then i realized that it didn't work. you were totally right about just clicking edit and then post again, lol. youre a genius twesterm.

the only way i was able to do it was by posting the embed url in the quick reply section.
