Video Embed

How do I do it?

I copied the "embed" text from youtube and pasted into the message, but I just get to look at the text all over again. No video.

What's the trick?

You don't even get a link?
Its usually just copy and paste the embed line. Most of the time it comes out as the video screen, but sometimes it will just come out as a link. You can also paste the link from the address bar when you have the video up on youtube. It can be finicky. Try doing it with a fresh thread, start over in sailnet.

This is what I get.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="<A href="http://www.youtube.com/v/H4u5x9XAsAs&rel=1"></param><param">http://www.youtube.com/v/H4u5x9XAsAs&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H4u5x9XAsAs&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

I usually paste it using the "go advanced" screen rather than quick reply. Try that & see if it works for you that way. also...that is way too big...try the small version.

Same crap. Is there a button in the advanced screen I'm missing?

Look at post #5, see the highlighted link in your post? Copy and paste what is between the parenthesis. See if that works.

All I get is the link. If you click the link, you get to youtube and can watch the vid, but no embed.

Not working for me either. Did you try starting a new thread? Have you tried on several threads?
Find the video thread and try on there.
