SirMatthew Posted May 17, 2010 at 07:41 PM Share Posted May 17, 2010 at 07:41 PM This question has come up a few times so I'm posting a brief reference guide with images to show how it is done. (Please forgive the large/bold type but my text was getting lost amid all these images.) When you begin a new thread or reply to an existing one you will see a row of icons shown in the image below. To embed a YouTube movie you will click the very last icon in the row (see circled below). Next, locate your YouTube video and copy the URL from that location (highlighted in blue below). Return to your IllinoisCarry page and paste the URL into the MEDIA URL field, as shown below. Then click the INSERT MEDIA button. The URL will be transferred to the body of your reply area with the necessary "tags" needed for embedding. You may (and should) add comments before or after this line of code. When finished, click on the ADD REPLY button at the bottom to finalize your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNHNTN Posted May 17, 2010 at 09:56 PM Share Posted May 17, 2010 at 09:56 PM Yes, thank you SirMathew! I often give up on trying to embed things (my wife says I have no patience). You're right Abolt this would make an excellent sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
