How to embed a video into your forum posts.
1. Go to a website with a video you want to post, example: youtube
2. Copy the URL of that video from the browser address bar, example:
3. Paste the above URL into a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad*. Delete the red part (the first & symbol and everything to the right of it).
4. In notepad type the video html tags. Since it's a youtube video type it like this:
5. Copy the blue portion and paste it after the semi-colon in the first brackets, and copy the entire green/blue URL and paste it in between the two sets of brackets.
You end up with this:
Note: I added periods to the start, and the end, to stop the forum from embedding it, to show you the actual command. To embed your video remove the periods. Also, I only used the color for instructing purposes, when you embed a video do not use color within the video tags.
Now you can substitute any video URL from youtube, or any other video site that allows embedding by using the above format

Or, just do a reply to a quote where someone did what you want to do, and look at the text.
