    Embedding YT videos
    I went back into the archives and found posts of mine with enbedded YT videos, but I can't figure out how to do it now, and the FAQ doesn't address embedded vids. Has something changes or did I just forget how? I'm selecting the embedded url, right click/copy/paste in the text window - what am I missing?

    Other websites its just so much easier.

    It might not be this website. Which code are you copying? YouTube changed their dealio up a bit; after hitting "Share" one must decide between "Embed" and "Email". The code that appears initially is not the embed code.

    1. Click "share"
    2. Click "embed". Embed code will open up under the "embed" button.
    3. Copy embed code
    4. Paste code here.

    I don't know either. Maybe this Youtube video can help.

    "I'm going to show you how to embed a You Tube video onto your blog, or more simply said, How to put a You Tube video onto your blog".

    Thanks for simplifying that that Katie! LOL!

    1. Click "share"
    2. Click "embed". Embed code will open up under the "embed" button.
    3. Copy embed code
    4. Paste code here.

    and I get this
    <!-- / message --><IFRAME src="<a href=" width=560 height=315 target="_blank" RX_Wuvya0iU?rel='0"' embed YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. http:>Cheech &amp Chong Up in smoke car joke - YouTube" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></IFRAME>

    I copied the info you embedded and got the same result.
    That's freakin' weird. One of the resident internet gurus can probably figure out what's going on.

    Play the video and do a right click on it and choose 'Copy embed html' instead of the method you used. I chose this one because I never tire of watching Nels soloing.

    <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPAbjNT7nQY?version=3&feature=player_detailpage">< param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPAbjNT7nQY?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

    I'll give that a shot Swishy when I get home later, thanks. Funny, this came up a few years back, and I shot a PM or two Adam's way, never heard anything back, but all of a sudden, it worked one day. Now it doesn't.

    I always select the option to use Old Code

    So, who would I contact about this? I can't send Adam a PM.

    that doesn't work for me either


    does it have to do with my browser?

    I'm not sure that this is something that Adam can help you with. Since you seem to be the only person having the problem I think it's a safe assumption that the problem has something to do with your computer and not this site.

    Why can't you send Adam a PM?

    Can you post the URL to the video that you're trying to imbed and let me see if I can do it? That'll help determine whether the problem is you, the site, or the video.

    here's the URL

    KRAAN live 02.04.11 - YouTube

    I have no problem posting vids anywhere else

    When I tried sending him a PM, it said he was not accepting PMs.

    I swear, this happens every time there's an update.

    I doubt its my computer. Its the same computer I was using the last time I was able to post a video. I was wondering if it was something in my account, since this came up before, I inquired about it, then it got resolved. I mean, some things don't always quite work the way they should, like trying to jump from one forum to another, try to PM Adam and getting a message saying he isn't accepting PMs and so on.

    I updated my browser a while back, could that be the reason? Any help is appreciated. Thanks to all who've responded so far.

    Does the code above that I pasted to display your video show up with your browser? If so, can you copy and then paste it in your reply so I know exactly what you started with, and then I can see how it is changing for you after it is parsed by the software here. For me, and others, it isn't changed at all. When you look at the bottom left of this page does it say "HTML code is ON" for you?

    I knew you would get this figured out quickly. I'll bet that the issue, but will wait and see.

    Thanks 'guru'.

    not exactly sure what you were asking, so I responded a couple of different ways, but yes, it says HTML code is ON
