How to post videos!

[Scott]

Before I show you how to post videos, I'd like to say that all the same rules apply to the videos as they do for the rest of the forum.

1.0 Get the video ID number.
1.1 On YouTube the ID is found after "v=" and before "&" (if any &)
1.2 On Google Video the ID is found after "docid=" and before "&" (if any &)

2.0 Wrap the right tags around the IDs when posting.
2.1 [ youtube ] [ / youtube ] (without the spaces) For YouTube.
2.2 [ gvid ] [ / gvid ] (without the spaces) For Google Video
2.3 ...or highlight the ID and click the correct button on the toolbar. (no spaces!)

Here is an example...


[Note: the tag yt also works for YouTube videos.]

Coming soon to Proboards version 5 It's here!, there will be a built in YT feature to eliminate the need for a javascript. How will this affect you? (you ask) The tags will change from It won't! Both "yt" and "youtube" work! I do NOT have any idea when this may happen though, but I will keep you posted!
