Well, I made it a non-issue by posting his video, so at very least he wont ask for help in posting that video again. And if he does, we can berate him. I also did repeat it, and sometimes repetition works. I also read somewhere that when people learn (or try to learn) the same thing in different settings, they improve sometimes. It was peer-reviewed. So now everyone can go over to Dan's thread and watch his video, and I will avoid the temptation of spoiling the surprise end for you all.

From what I could see you literally said the same thing that was said in this thread multiple times. I'm not sure how that would help, unless you actually can do the same thing over and over again and eventually get a different result.

Dan:

So if I wanted to embed this video exactly what would it look like? Do I just paste it into the post? Do I have to be in the "source" area?

Example:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNTzp9grp2Q : 640 : 480 ]

Post #8:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDp65Juibes : 640 : 480 ]

Eliminate the spaces in it. I figured it out thanks to the tipster, thanx

The post from the Welcome Thread I linked you to (which is probably how you found this thread):

Embed YouTube

There is a thread on this here. You can embed YouTube clips by simply using the following code:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWsx1X8PV_A ] (without the spaces...and make sure it's plain text)

You can also add sizes for the display by adding that to the end of the URL, separated by colons...so using the same link,

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWsx1X8PV_A : 640 : 385 ]

would yield the video in a 640x480 resolution. (640:385 is the recommended size)

I don't know any other way to say "put the url for the video in that syntax without the spaces."

Maybe,

[view:YOUR YOUTUBE LINK HERE:640:385 ]

I'm completely out of ideas.

You don't need to type the frame size, just put [ view: youtube-url ] into brackets.

I said 'normal youtube url', not 'embed code'.

Example:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNTzp9grp2Q : 640 : 480 ]

Nielsio, thanks for the reply. But my ignorance is profound. I copied the link from google, didn't work. Then I copied the embed html on the video itself. No luck. Where do I get the URL for a utube video? See the mess I came up with, above.

Again, forgive my ignorance. Thanks for the help.

Without the spaces.
