New to the forum... YouTube embedding!

Good afternoon everyone!

Just a nice little feature I've uploaded to the site. From now on if you want to upload YouTube videos to your posts (e.g. of you car, exhaust, from meets/runs etc.) then you can now view the videos directly in the post rather than visiting YouTube's site.

Just copy and paste the URL directly into your post and it will automatically appear when posted. For example:

[ame][/ame]

Testing...

[ame][/ame]

[ame][/ame]

Please note some youtube users do not allow embedding of their videos onto forums, as can be seen in the above example, the first does not play, the second does

Is there any way of knowing that before linking it? I know I am having a blonde mo here... Sowwy

Good question - yes you can tell if it will work.

If when you are on YouTube you click on the video that you want to post up then on the top right hand side of the page you will see a box that contains the options "URL:" and "Embed:". If next to "Embed" you see a string of code then the video will embed into your post. If on the other hand next to "Embed" you see the words "Embedding disabled by request" then it will not embed in your post.

Hope that makes sense, if not just let me know.

Yeap perfect sense hun, thanks
