Members dragonflies Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Okay how come it shows up embedded when I preview a post, but when I go to post it, it's gone? How do I get youtube files to embed properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 The last icon in the line where you find Bold, Italic, Underlined etc. is called Insert Media. Click on it and copy the full YouTube video URL there and you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Are you pressing the "insert media" button in the text editor and putting the link of the youtube video inside of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted February 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah Sylph, I do that and when I post it, it just shows up with this: [/media} I sure am, could it be my browser? I'm using google chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ok I think I know whats wrong dragonflies. You are pressing the actual "embed" button on the youtube video and copying that code and putting it in the "insert media" button, right? (I just did that and got the same results that you're describing). What you have to do is get the actual LINK of the video your on (the one in the address bar) and put it in the "insert media" button, then it should work. If that makes sense..

Members Sylph Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 Or if you're using the embed code, you must turn on the HTML, which is in the Post Options when you click on Add Reply. Last choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 If you're just doing one or two videos, you can just post the link with no HTML around it at all and it'll automatically embed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted February 11, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks AMS. So all you did was copy and past the link without the coding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 As if you didn't hate me enough already, I had to add the bizarro looks too, LOL. I didn't know about this one, so I was a bit surprised. Another way to do it is to wrap it around youtube or video tags: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
