How do I post a video?

This post was updated on .
First, log onto Youtube and find an awesome video.

From the address window at the top of the Youtube page copy the (http//:www....) and then you have one of two options:

1. Under the "This Weeks Vid" heading click on "New Topic" and then add a title in the "subject" line. Just above the "Message" window click on "Link" and paste your Youtube link in the window along with your comments. Using the link option causes your link to be active. Add your comments before or after your link and then click on  "Post Message" at the bottom and your done.

2. If you don't want to use the procedure above you can simply go to the Contact page and send me your Youtube link and message and I will post it for you.

If you have questions you can either ask them under the General Topics heading or use the contact page to send a private message.

How the "F" does the "Embed" link work Bruce?

I have simple hit the button and tried to paste the URL between the > < and nothing. Or tried to click in the URL on the embed tag on the link provided.

I can never get it to work. Of course I can just post the  link as I have been doing, but I like that this feature will pop it right up there like yours do.

In the Youtube video right click on the screen and pick "Embed Code"



Then in the forum pick the Embed dropdown to insert the tags. Then paste the code where the circle is shown here:



Then hit Post.

I have encountered videos where this just doesn't work but that's rare.
