Title: Tutorial for using You Tube button.
Post by: red4wd on March 04, 2008, 09:43:48 am

Chris was cool enough to hook us up with a way to post You Tube videos into our posts over here.  I have written up some simple instructions on how to use the new feature in our posts.

Instead of posting a link to a You Tube video now you can embed the video into your post by using the (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif) you will be able to view the video from the thread.  To post the video all you need is the information to the right of the v= in the You Tube url Example: http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kqcecynrrY.  When you are ready to post the video take that information that is in bold and copy it to your post. Highlight it and click on the (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif) and the forum will place the video in your post.

You will then have a video embed into your post like this.
