Hi all,
I have now changed the 'instruction' for embedding YouTube Videos .. [youtube][/youtube] .. from the Shockwave Flash one to the new HTML one.
As far as I can tell,
all the videos in our TDP Forum are now working retrospectively. So just carry on as usual when you want to put up a YouTube Video.
Posting a YouTube Video into the ForumGet the YouTube video you want to put into your post up on screen. Once you are sure you are watching the right one,
pause it (it's easier to concentrate!). Click on the
SHARE, underneath. Click
COPY in the drop-down box, which will copy the youtu.be address to your clipboard.
Place your cursor in the posting box where you want your video to appear. Click the
youtube BBCode above the posting box. The following will appear in your post: [youtube][/youtube], with the cursor flashing in between. You now need to
PASTE what is on your clipboard to where the cursor is flashing. You can do that either by doing a right-click with your mouse and then choosing
Paste from the drop-down box (left-click on it); or by holding down the
Ctrl on your computer's keypad, and pressing the letter
V (Ctrl + V). You then need to remove the
https://youtu.be/ so place your cursor just to the right of that 'slash' and 'backspace' until you have removed all the above. Stop when you get to the right hand bracket of [youtube]. You will then just be left with the letters/numbers from the address.
Click
Submit under the posting box. The embedded video should appear.
