Video links

Post by IanKennedy »

You may now use our Video tag to embed videos into your forum posts. It works like this:

[ Video ]<link to movie here>[ /Video ]

For youtube videos you need the embedding link not the url of the page:

[ Video]https://www.youtube.com/embed/<videoid>{ /Video ]

for example:

The normal youtube link is this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGYHe01Q6qo

Take off the value after v= and add it to the link:

[ Video ]http://www.youtube.com/embed/MGYHe01Q6qo[ /Video ] (without the spaces)

Gives:
