DTC officially rolled out Youtube video embedding in the forum. It's been flaky and unreliable and occasionally outright broken for some time, so here is how to make it work right:

1) There is a "youtube" button in all the neat-o buttons for Bold, Underline, etc. Click it.

2) In between the [youtube] and [/youtube] tags, put the URL to the video.

Example:
To show this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ot02RabBU

Put this in your post:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ot02RabBU[/youtube]

Happy embedding!

Is it just me, or is everyone else seeing these youtube-support announcement threads getting re-marked as "new posts" every day? (in spite of the fact that you've already read it multiple times, there AREN'T any new posts on it, and it was posted 4 days ago)

let's mutiny!

I'm not seeing it marked as new. It is set as a global so it appears at the top of each forum, but shouldn't be new.

CLEAR YOUR COOKIES!

Broken feature?

I made a post and saw visible youtube tags instead of an embed.

Testing testing... 1, 2, testing...

AHHA!

It doesn't work with https. I'll have to fix the macro. For now use http instead of https.

FIXED!

Danke Guru!
