Did you ever get the You Tube thing to work? I just tried it and it didn't seem to work. Just curious... Hey brotherj, good to see you around here. The youtube thingie works just fine, but I have to admit, I didnt get it right my 1st try or 2 myself. Here is what you do. I stole this link off my Weslie Willis video. I will use it for an example. If Im on youtube watching the video, as you know the link is up top like so.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogid9D0rcEIThe youtube thingie doesnt care about the whole link. All it cares about is what is after the equals (=) sign. In this case Ogid9D0rcEI. Thats all you need, because the youtube thingie automatically knows to go to youtube. So the youtube thingie produces a start and a end html code...like so [yt and /yt] (please note I couldnt add the 2nd bracket here because if I do it just brings up a solid white box, but the yt has brackets on both sides of it). All you have to do is make sure whatever is after the equals sign is inbetween that. That should bring your desired video here like so... Couple of notes. If you do it and then preview your message...you will NOT see your video and it will make it look like it didnt work. You have to actually POST your message to see the desired results. Also....When I made my Faith No More thread I put a video in the top post and then tried adding posts for other videos. It wouldnt work. I couldnt figure out why. But when I added the same videos to my original beginning post, they showed up fine. So, Im not sure, but the you tube thingie might only work for the original 1st post only. Maybe Underdog can answer that one for us. Anyway, I think it is a GREAT addition to our site and would love to see what people bring here. Feel free to bring stuff here and let us all enjoy. Let me know if you continue to have problems.  -gowaltrip  |

You have to actually POST your message to see the desired results. Yeah, I didn't know this, that is why it didn't work for me. I always preview posts to make sure they are right before I post them, so when it didn't show up in the preview, I assumed something was wrong. I'll probably come up with some interesting stuff, I've found some good stuff on youtube recently, especially some excellent vintage Pro Wrestling. |
