Happy Jack Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Greyparrot - ignore the distractions and go back to my Post #7. Just follow those instructions, using the same YouTube vid as an exercise to practice with until you get it right (which should take about 30 seconds) and you'll be fine. Do NOT get involved with stuff like 'Code Boxes'. I'm sure they're jolly useful to some people, but I haven't found a use for them yet.

Happy Jack Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If you look at the 'address' of that YouTube vid, it's a load of gobbledegook leading up to an '=' sign, followed by [size=4][color="#FF0000"]ccd3m4zz-Mk[/color][/size] That coloured bit is all you want. Now you need a pair of YouTube bookends. 1. Put [size=4][color="#FF0000"]youtube [/color][/size]inside some square brackets. That's your start bookend. 2. Put the YouTube code (see above) after that. 3. Put [size=4][color="#FF0000"]/youtube [/color][/size]inside some square brackets. Don't leave out the "/". That's your finish bookend.

For example on another forum I used instead of typing youtube in the book ends it was just yt and the link had to be changed to uk.youtube from www.youtube . Where as one the Mrs uses you just copy and paste the link and it is automatically embedded.[/quote] Great fellas thank you for answering my question! many thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
