Embedding YouTube video?

Post by Splintercat » August 17th, 2008, 7:50 am

I tried this last night using the "easy" method that works on other discussion boards - simply pasting in the embedding code from YouTube:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o7bOtrKvrw0&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o7bOtrKvrw0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

That not working, I tried putting the YouTube code inside the URL brackets, no luck. Anyone else figure out how to enable embedding..? For this post, I'll also trying disabling BBCode, and see what happens...

Nope, that didn't do it, either...

Hmmm.....

I don't think you can. There is a mod to allow that. For now you can just link to the YouTube page though.
