How to embed YouTube videos in DooberVille!
Yes, you can actually make YouTube videos play within your posts and here's how to do it. You need to use vBCodes to do it, such as <-starting tag - ending tag->
At the point you want to insert your video, start out by typing the start tag enclosed in square brackets without the * (The * added so it could could be displayed without working.)
Next, you need to insert only certain info about the video from the URL displayed in your browser. For example:
This is the full URL to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2zcepoThrI&feature=user (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2zcepoThrI&feature=user)
You only need to add everything that is after the FIRST = sign, so that would be:
Q2zcepoThrI&feature=user
Finally, to finish it off, you need to type the closing tag with a slash:
That should be it! Give a shout out if it isn't working for you!
Doober's Mom just called and told me to remind you nothing that is NSFW or you will get a bonkin'.
<edit 5/12/08> Some Google videos also work but not all, the code for that is [gv]code after the = sign[/gv} (curly bracket used for demo, needs to be square to work!)
Here is an example:
Q2zcepoThrI&feature=user
I was actually on this ride, but the video is not mine and I didn't go quite that fast!
