What am I doing wrong here? I have tried both utube.../utube or youtube.../youtube around a hyperlink to get a you tube video in my reply with no luck. What am I missing? I am replacing the ... with the you tube link. I can get it to post as a hyper link but not an embedded video.

Thanks,

.

On your video:
- click on "share"
- click on "embed"
- add checkmark on "use old embed code"
- copy/paste the embed code, example:

<InvalidTag width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mEjyuxc_3n8?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><InvalidTag src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mEjyuxc_3n8?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

- from video code only use: http://www.youtube.com/v/mEjyuxc_3n8?version=3&hl=en_US

- add {utube} before (http)and {/utube} after (=en_US}. (make sure to use [ ] brackets instead of { }.

{utube}http://www.youtube.com/v/mEjyuxc_3n8?version=3&hl=en_US{/utube}

Thanks you sir! I got it. I see what I was doing wrong. I was using the wrong link. Thanks for the marked up pic, that really nailed it. Can we get that pic sticky'd to the top-o-the-newb section?

Missing forward slash in closing bracket and shows full http line.

[u][u]

This is hold down ctrl key then press U for underline. Forward slash is removed to show the popup.

[utube][utube]

Add tube into both brackets. Forward slash is removed to show next step.

[utube]https://www.youtube.com/v/RCidn9naAqo[utube]

The http line was entered in between both brackets. Delete only 'watch?' and '=' but keep the V. Type a forward slash after the V so both slashes surround the V. Forward slash was removed to show final code typed out.

[utube]https://www.youtube.com/v/RCidn9naAqo[utube]

Final code line without forward slash above. Forward slash added to show video below.
