TIPS: How to post YouTube videos on the site and more
Lots of people don't seem to know how to post YouTube videos on the site. It's very easy, and remember it's a requirement to use the YouTube code if you're posting YouTube videos on the site. This is so people can see what it is they might play.
This is a normal YouTube URL from a recent Mounties game:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Qn3o3DmSvks
To post a You Tube video on the site, copy and paste in the URL into your post.
Then delete everything before the = sign. It'll look like this:
Qn3o3DmSvks
Then select that remnant and just click on the YouTube code icon. That will wrap the YouTube code around it.
And you're done.

Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
I can't even use the quote function properly, GE; now you're telling me how to post videos?
Good grief, one thing at a time.

That's straightforward. But if you want tuition, I'm happy to answer questions.Professor wrote:I can't even use the quote function properly, GE; now you're telling me how to post videos?

Ok, so in a nutshell, you know how people include multiple quotes within a post? How do I do that?
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
You may only automatically embed up to four posts when you multi quote, using the automatic post function. (It's actually five but I'm saying four because people can't count. )
The key thing to remember with the quote code is you need [quote] up front. And then you need... (I will continue in the next post...)

Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
And then you need [/quote] to end the code wrap around. For every one of the first, you need one of the latter.
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
To quote an individual, you first need[quote="greeneyed"] up front.
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
Then you need [/quote] to wrap it.
Those are the principles.
Once you know this, you could copy and paste whatever text you want from another post, put it between those code instructions, and you can respond to that. Then do it again, and again.

Whatever code you use, it needs, say,

And [/color] to end the wrap around of the text. To make text a colour.
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
If you want to bold text, you need to start...
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
And then [/b] to wrap at the end of the text you want to bold.
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
You almost never need to use the URL code. In fact all that does is stop the URL being shortened. Mostly, it's best to let the URL to be shortened automatically. Just include the URL in the post and that just happens.
When the URL code becomes useful is when you want something like this to appear:
NSW Premiership teams: Click here
Holden Cup teams: Click here
If people woul like tuition on how to do that, let me know.

If you want to leave hidden text in your message wrap the text in the following with brackets closed [ /color]
Raiders will win by 17 points tomorrow night
Tomorrow's lesson will involve getting around the Suncorp Stadium filter to allow the naming right of a certain bank.

Is just Suncorp, the insurance company filtered? Or only Suncorp Stadium?

Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
Ah, I see. I have to ask, what if we were discussing the merits of EDIT as an insurance company in the Politics thread or something?
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
Except I will edit those posts because I don't give companies who don't sponsor The GH any free kick and offend history at the same time.
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
Or EDIT which is underwritten by EDIT
Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
When those companies pay us to use their names I'll do so.

Is that why Stadium Australia gets a free pass?greeneyed wrote:Except I will edit those posts because I don't give companies who don't sponsor The GH any free kick and offend history at the same time.
The Olympic stadium has a much more significant history to Australia and the NRL.. (highest ever crowd was at that venue)
Also been around slightly longer than the other place which only finished construction in 2003.

Re: How to post YouTube videos on the site
Thanks a lot for this, GE. I'm having some dramas trying to execute your instructions at the moment, but that's because I'm on my phone and it's rather difficult.
I will give it a nudge on the computer a bit later.

And I also found out that there is a way to do it on Tapatalk from GE. I won't explain it so over to you GE.
TIPS: How to post YouTube videos on the site and more
On Tapatalk just put in the CODE code, and substitute the word CODE for YouTube in both places.
https://youtu.be/j5PChO6RG5I
Put the remnant j5PChO6RG5I in between and you're done.
I did this on Tapatalk:
Note that both appear on Tapatalk as an embedded video, but that on the site, the first only appears as a URL link.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

You don't use the quote code, you use the YouTube code. This is where you're going wrong.bonehead wrote:Nopebonehead wrote:P-21cpPzDig
