Good day,

I ran across several posts here showing youtbe videos that are embedded. Yet no matter what I try I am unable to embed a youtube video (been at it for an hour now).

What is the trick to making a video appear in the post rather than a simple link?

Have you tried attaching it as a file? Thats how i got my anteater in yesterday. I know that was just a jpeg, but i used the "manage attachments" box.

Eta - i was unable to copy and paste it in, so i had to get fancy. That i believe is the technical term.

Nope, looks like you can only attach if the file is already on your computer. I came across a post by some guy who is obsessed with riding 10 speed bikes and he has been doing posts like that. Maybe I can find them again and ask him directly.

You can only embed a Youtube video in the Videos, Lyrics and Podcasts forum. In any other forum, it will come up as a link.
