how to ... EMBED YOUTUBE VIDEOS

[Superully]

hi guys!

i'd like to be able to embed some videos which i've uploaded to youtube into my threads so that you see a preview picture in the thread and once you click on that picture the video loads and plays. i've done some digging and read something about the administrator having to add a bb code which would make inserting videos extremely easy, but i'm no administrator here

how are you guys doing this?

Like Nuno said, it´s not possible yet, when i did mine i cheated with a screen shot that linked to the movie on youtube

how exactly? which code were you using?

very simple, post the link, then edit your post, and instead of the words that make the link use a picture link

result:

a picture that is clickable..



ps if you "quote" this post you can see the code
