Title: Can someone give me (& others) simple instructions on embedding YouTube videos?
Post by: Bruce on January 12, 2013, 09:10:24 AM
Can some kindly soul (Mel?) give me (& others) simple instructions on embedding YouTube videos into posts here?

It seems it can be done, but I am too stupid to figure it out.

Thanks for any help!

I'll second that, and if they can also go over to NSF and look there and teach me there as well, hahaha

I've tried to embed videos with no success.
I don't think it is possible on this forum.
One night -- when we had chat -- a few of us were trying different methods and all failed.
Ahhh well...

Maybe it is a setting that one of the two big cheeses could turn on?

I've checked the add flash box, so see if it works now.

I am an idiot! I still don't get it. Can someone explain it for a dummy?

100% If you follow Mel's pasted instructions they will work.

Failing that PM me the YouTube vid link and I'll put it inside the code and send it back to you so you can see how it's done.

Very cool Z, top song choice and a lot of nice titles in there. My daughter picked up the Spanish Senna for her bf (thanks Ted), and I thought that Hair one was way out man  O0

The flash tag provided above (2nd row, first one) puts "200,200" on the video. You need to follow the instructions given above AND change the flash numbers from "200,200" to "640,480" (Thanks to David for explaining in a message to me). So easy a six year old could do it, so you should send out for a 6 year old!

I should be able to do it now (I will cross my fingers)!

Here's this incredible video Ted posted:

I can't follow that at all.

If it is too confusing what code to use, I created a little assistant for APF'ers  ;D :

Great chorus.  Of course, didn't have a clue what they were saying during the chorus so FYI everybody:

*****

Toy Dolls: "Nellie The Elephant"

To Bombay a travelling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
and Nellie was her name

One dark night she slipped her iron chain,
and off she ran to Hindustan
and was never seen again

oooooooooooooooooo...

[Chorus:]
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and said goodbye to the circus
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trundled off to the jungle
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade
she looked so proud and grand

No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
and she took the crowd by storm

oooooooooooooooooo...

[Chorus x2]

The head of the herd was calling far far away
they met one night in silver light
on the road to Mandalay

oooooooooooooooooo...

It`s nothing to do with your gen..it happened right after I posted my first embed,the box is just smaller now that I halved the size...any ideas?
Could it be something to do with Shockwave? I`ve had a couple of crashes since.

Which post is it you made that causes that (black square), the one you halved the size?

Does it only appear on that page you show? (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?action=recent) Try forcing refresh on that page: Ctrl+F5

It has only started since I posted my first you tube embed video.
The black square pops up whenever I go into a specific thread,it doesn't`t appear when I log in or when I view the most recent posts etc,it pops up when I view a thread singularly or when I reply to a post..

I use Chrome to browse if that helps.
