Why Can't I Embed Videos???
It's only on this forum, but it's the case with every browser I've tried. I can add URLs, IMGs, and Email addresses, but for the life of me, I can't add videos. When I click the video button in the editor, rather than get the dialog box to paste in the video URL, I just get the FLASH VIDEO and /FLASH VIDEO placeholders. I can paste the URL between them, but still no video.

What in blue blazes is going on here? If no one could do it, I'd suspect some bug in the BB code. But I see others doing it with abandon.

This is my one big bugaboo about SigForum. I can't seem to find out a resolution to this issue

Grrr.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

You have to paste the "embedded" code for a flash video.

For example, the following is the embed code for a Youtube video.

<iframe width="1263" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fbax9ZOsnZc" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

All the code between the <iframe yada yada yada to the / iframe> must be posted inside the "Video" FLASH_VIDEO tags.

Some of us quiet idiots out here also thank you for the info.

Always wondered why I couldn't post videos. Now, to use it before I forget will be the next challenge:-)

It usually takes me about 3 tries before the candle starts to brighten and I remember the proper steps. Wink

Go to your youtube clip



See the button "SHARE"? Click on it (might take a couple of clicks) This little window will pop up:



Click on "EMBED" and this bigger window will show up:



Copy the entire embed code and paste into the "FLASH VIDEO" tags located in the editing bar.



I usually will also post a URL link to the clip.
