What is the ABC about implanting videos on to the forum…
Remember it took me a long time to understand how to use quotes so make it very very simple and clear…even at the threat of repetition..
For users with normal permissions, i.e nearly all, the only way is just to copy and paste the URL link into the message.
Humfffff…are you saying i can't do what you do and actually implant the video, but instead can merely post the location of it for people to go to…
Here is how DJP embedded his video—as seen from his Source text: <p> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VNqNnUJVcVs" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" ></iframe> </p>To embed your own video, just as DJP did, follow these five steps:Copy DJP’s text [above] to a text-editor application.Replace DJP’s three values for src, height and width with your own. So you should replace//www.youtube.com/embed/VNqNnUJVcVswith your own video’s web address315with your own video’s height in screen pixels560with your own video’s width in screen pixels.Check your changes, and save them as text-only.In the Socialist Party Forum “Comment:” window:Click the Source icon—currently, you can only successfully paste videos as Source text.Paste your video text at the end of your message—only if you are familiar with the rules of the web-language XHTML, should you attempt to paste your video text where you want your video to appear.Click the Source icon to revert to normal text, and you should be able to see, and to preview, your embedded video.If your video doesn’t show up, or work, check that you have not inadvertently deleted a "—you must have balanced double quotes around your values. So carefully check your text, and try again.
