Hello. I'm not an administrator but I can tell you, when you go to post a message, above the text box, there will be a series of buttons. B I u Quite Code, etc etc. One of those buttons has youtube in it.

What you have to do is copy the video URL code from youtube, click the button here, this will come up:


Link

Link



Paste the URL code between the 2 bracketed sections and it should come up. :thumb

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Close, but no cigar! Don't paste the full URL, just the video ID. So, if the YouTube URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujga-3p21xY, the ID would be Ujga-3p21xY.

End result:

Oh right fair play. I thought it was the other way but mind you I haven't uploaded youtube videos to here for ages so that's why...
