Oh, it couldn't be simpler!:clap2

 

Just grab the address bar at the youtube video you want to show...not the SHARE button results...just the address of the video.

 

Copy that into the post, and the forum software automatically detects it as a youtube video and displays it.

You want to copy the YouTube URL including the "?" question mark and assorted letters-digits after it. But ONLY up to any "&" and following material that you often find.

 

Simple paste it into the text of your post, and the board will turn it into a video preview.

Remove the ampersand and anythng following. Paste this:

 

http :// www. youtube.com/ watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ &feature=player_embedded#!

 

Get this:

I suspect the Invision software might be getting easier to use.

Okay thanks, managed to do it just by clicking the share button and copy and paste to the reply window.

 

Could have sworn I tried that before. Note to Self.... ease up on the reefers.

 

Almost certain that you did try it, and almost certain that it did not work back then. As MM says, technological advances in your lifetime.

Still trying to get by with an iPhone 3 and cutting off the YouTube URLs halfway, that's where! Talk about hardship!
