    How to Post

    As you may or may not know, we can embed YouTube videos to our forums. This is the place where you would post the best "G" or "PG" rated videos that have not been flagged at YouTube and do not ask to confirm your account for being offensive, violent, controversial, etc. If you have a video that might be controversial to others (& still follows our rules), please post it in the Selectee Videos Forum. If you would like to post a Music Video, please go to the Music Video Forum.

    Enjoy and please stick to our rules.   

    Thank you & don't forget to rate each video!
     

    Here is how to embed a YouTube video to our forums:

     

    1. View Embed Tag from YouTube (not URL tag): I copy and paste the code into Notepad for easy reading.

    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vcBa49rgY0g"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vcBa49rgY0g" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    2. Then use the embed SRC to find out the file's name: http://www.youtube.com/v/vcBa49rgY0g. This file is named: vcBa49rgY0g

    3. Type this into your regular text box (not the video tab): [_YouTube:_filename_] without the underscores

    4. you're done. This will embed your file: [_YouTube:_vcBa49rgY0g_] without the underscores of course.

     

    Example text:

    Here is freezy's video file:

    [_YouTube:_vcBa49rgY0g_]

     

    Output (what public sees with code above by omitting the 3 underscores)

    Here is freezy's video file:
