How do I post a You Tube video on the forum?
If you find a You Tube vid you'd like to share, click on the Share button on You Tube and you will see a box with "Link to this video". The URL in this box usually starts with http://youtu.be/ followed by a string of alpha -numeric characters. Just copy these characters, eg http://youtu.be/60IUk0zKO5M.
In the forum, you should see a button at the top right of the dialogue/reply box marked (surprise. surprise) youtube
If you click on this button and then paste the alpha-numeric string in between the two sets of square brackets, when you select Preview you should see your embedded video. If you can't see it, you've either done something wrong or YouTube have changed the way they do things.
Once you're happy with it you can press Submit
