New code for embedding videos

[Phil Herring]

The bb code used to embed videos has changed, so it's now possible to embed as many as you want in either new topics or replies.

Here's how it works: Click the YouTube button and the tags will appear where your cursor is.

Between the tags, enter only the YouTube file number, which looks like this: hzqdDoe8FoM

Do NOT enter the entire YouTube url. You can add as many videos as you want, on either new topics or replies.

Thank you for this. And I was beginning to think this forum was serious business. And don't call me Shirley!

Huh??

What Youtube button??

 

[Phil Herring]

It's in the lower right corner of the screen dump attached.

If you're posting a reply you need to click the "Go Advanced" button.

Thanks. Never noticed it and I was just in advanced to post a still picture.

Thanks also for doing it. I don't do video's but i am sure we will see some fun stuff.

I don't see any of the buttons other than the font and size windows. Any clues to help fix?
I use Windows Vista on a Toshiba lap top.
Thanks,

This is what I see.

I did click on the advance screen as you can now see. There are still no buttons.

Very weird! We might have you in an altered reality. Your prefs look fine. I posted a screen capture below of what my advanced reply looks like on this thread.

Can you send me the full url of the screen where you see what you posted? Please email it to phil at sailboatowners.com so we don't bore everyone else to tears with this.
