You Tube embedding w/ new format
So, really cool that there is a “You Tube” button for putting our videos in our posts, but I must be doing something wrong. I copied the url from the video I want to embed and then placed the “you tube” markers on either side of the url (using the “you tube” button), but when I preview it, the post is blank. I heard that the “s” in https... needs to be deleted sometimes which I also tried. Any help is appreciated.

It certainly is inconsistent. I've used some features and it works on some browsers, but not well on mobile. It would definitely help my participation if it could work like the old site where the video could be viewed clearly and easily on any browser or device.

I can place a clickable url that when clicked takes you to you tube, but cant get the you tube window in the post that opens within the sYc site. I am using an ipad if that is pertinent.
Thanks. |
Yeah......what he said

Hi Sam, I just saw your email. I was out all day today. You are doing everything right...except DON'T PREVIEW the file. Just type what you want to say, then embed the youtube video...and post it! I don't know why previewing it causes it to mess up, but it does! Let me know if that works for you :beers: |

Bruce - still not working. Tried on ipad and desk top Windows. Previous post is an attempt and the post is blank. I did not preview prior to posting??:confused2:

Youtube Gallery
I was thinking of adding a Youtube Gallery. This would be a dedicated forum so member can post Youtube video related to musclecars from racing to repairs. Another thought, perhaps we could have a listing of all members Youtube Channels.

I texted the computer guy, should be fixed soon.

How to embed Youtube videos
First, get the YouTube video ID, it's the info that follows the "=" in the URL of the video on YouTube. See image below. Highlight that info and click copy.

See image below. https://www.yenko.net/forum/images/editor/youtube.gif Finally, with your cursor between the YouTube BB tags, right click and paste the YouTube ID. That's it. Done. http://www.lateral-g.net/temp/youtube_help.jpg The final result will look like this: |
Nice!!!!thank you sir!👍😎

This falls under the category of either "looking a gift horse in the mouth" or "give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile"!
--> Dare I ask if we can PREVIEW prior to posting a youtube video? :dunno::wink::grin: |

Jody,
Did this ever get sorted. Any of my old posts with what were functional videos all seem to be broken links now, and yesterday's attempt to post a youtube video had all failed. Didn't matter if I hyperlinked them, kept the 10 digit suffix, 11 digits, = sign or anything else? Nothing worked or previewed? Help... :worship: |
