HOWTO: Post YouTube videos was created by SIGHUP

So you want to post a YouTube video eh? Here is how to do it. Not only does the board support YouTube, it supports other types of streams. But I'm sure YouTube will be the overwhelmingly popular one.



1.) Select YouTube from the "Video:" drop down menu.

2.) Place your embed youtube code or simply the name of the video file name (e.g. gfKQy212EcU).
[video type=youtube]embed code goes here[/video]

or

[video type=youtube]gfKQy212EcU[/video]

Do whatever is easiest for you. One advantage of the embed code is that you can customize it. Happy posting!

..
BTW: If you cut and paste the video name gfKQy212EcU, you'll find out its for Robotech: The Untold Story.

Ooooooh! So THAT'S how we do it.



HERE'S ANOTHER SUGGESTION:

On the page of the video you'd like to post, next to the Embed: and above the embed code is a hyperlink Customize.



If you click on this link it will let you pick the color for the border of your vid (I do mine in blue!)...

AND more importantly, it gives the option "Don't include related videos" which I highly suggest us all to select before copying our code.

After all, you want them to watch your video... not to use this site as a portal to a plethora of YouTube vids!
