[farmerboy219]

hey users,

how do you show a youtube video in an escapist post,

everytime i just post a link,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6MHGkF5GR4

but how do i get the video to appear in the post?

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

You remove all of the link except for youtube=numbersandlettersgohere then just box it in with [ and ]. Simple enough, I groaned at how easy it was when I finally figured it out.

Put (Bracket goes here) Youtube (Equal Sign) Contents of URL beginning after the Equal Sign.)


Quote me, or anyone else, to see how.

Like this:


use quote to see how it's done.

The letters and numbers are those that come after the 'watch?v=' in the url.
