Youtube have changed their embedding code from the old 'object' code to the new 'iframe' code. A lot of forums and blogs seem to encounter problems using this new code, and it won't work on this forum either (at least not yet).
However, Vice has offered a solution for this, which I'll describe below.
Please note:
Since the embed code is HTML, the forum you are posting the video in needs to have HTML enabled for the video to show up. Check to the left of your reply box, where it says:
Message:
HTML is On
Smilies are On
BB Code is On
[img] Code is On
If it says 'HTML is Off', then embedding videos will not work on that forum.
For the forum sections that have HTML enabled, this is how it works:
> If you want to embed a video on this forum, copy the HTML code inside the code block below and paste it into your post (don't quote this post and copy the entire bbcode for the code block, but only the HTML code inside the code block!):
Code: Select all
<object width="853" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YOUBUEID&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YOUTUBEID&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="480"></embed></object>
> An example of how to use the video ID:
Let's say the url to your Youtube video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU8eKLFm6GE, then the red part would be your video ID.
Copy this video ID from the url and paste it into the code you copied from inside the code block above, replacing the 'YOUTUBEID' part, and those parts only.
The resulting code would look like:
Code: Select all
<object width="853" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SU8eKLFm6GE&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SU8eKLFm6GE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="480"></embed></object>
