You posted the html coding inside the UBB coding brackets. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computer things but one thing I've learned is that html and UBB don't mix.

I tried to include an explanation on embedding YouTubes in IronMagazine posts that makes sense in my previous post.

Had to follow your link to that site then double-click the YouTube posted there and then follow the embedding deal here.



There's a sticky somewhere that explains how to post YouTube vids.

Basically, you grab the URL from YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0CV6EYMDbE&feature=player_embedded

Then you click on .

The bracket thing appears: [ yt][/yt]

Insert only the bold faced bit from the URL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0CV6EYMDbE&feature=player_embedded

That's everything between v= and & (if "&" appears. It's not included in all YouTube URLs.)

In other words, delete all the big stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0CV6EYMDbE&feature=player_embedded

The red text (or boldfaced stuff in the previous example) gets inserted inside the brackets:

[ yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0CV6EYMDbE&feature=player_embedded[ /yt]

[ yt]M0CV6EYMDbE[ /yt]

Like that? I zapped all the unnecessary stuff and kept the code that's needed.

Included spaces in the bracketed area so the text would appear. Normally if you post the youtube in the bracketed area it will appear just like this:

[ yt]M0CV6EYMDbE[ /yt]

Oops. Close up the spaces in the [ yt] and [ /yt] and it will work!



Good luck.

And, fwiw, if you just post a link then many people are quick to embed it for you.

Thanks for he help Curt Appreciated And yes finally did check out the youtube post (sorry for not doing that earlier,my bad ) but i guess your description here is the easiest way to understand and follow
