You can now embed YouTube video directly into your posts.

I'll add a how-to thread under Directory Assistance, but I thought I'd announce this here as well.

Please remember that this is not an 18-and-over-only board, so please don't post video that may be excessively violent, sexual, political or religious in nature. The mods here will remove any video that any of us think is not appropriate.

Now that the "legal" stuff is out of the way, here's how to do it:

Just grab the YouTube URL (in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx format), copy it, click the YouTube button (the last button on the top right of E-C's post page), then paste the YouTube URL between the

Enjoy!

It takes a few seconds for it to "work".

At least it did for me......it wasn't instantaneous.

The YouTube link must be in the format

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx

I tried to get it to work using YouTube's Embed link, but it was a no-go, at least for now. I'll try again when I have some time today.

And Dasha's videos worked after I tweaked the links to conform to this format. It's the most common YouTube URL, in the address bar of your browser.

Or, you can just click on the "share with a friend" button and copy that address

not http://www.youtube

I'm all-AMD myself. The servers that serve up these pages have Opteron 1220 processors, my home and office PCs have X2 5800+ processors, and my laptop has an 2GHz X2.
