Effectively Immediately we will no longer be allowing links to youtube in the forum, but for those of you who want to show off your video we have a simple way to do that.
Now you can embed YouTube Videos in your post. A more detailed "How To" will be posted soon but the short version is:
You will see "VIDEO EMBED" BOX below, when you go to post your thread simply copy the url of the video you want to post there and post thread, and video will view like this:

Tried it, didn't seem to work, even though it said it was successful.
Not sure what the problem is with posting the links w/o embedding the vid. I'd expect the embedded ones take longer to load.
And you can only have one per post?
Personally - I think Youtube needs some moderators! Not sure why it is everyone has to swear in their vids, and why all the responses get so childish and crass. It rougher than our rowdy board!
So I paste in the link, then when I exit that "video embed" box it says "Youtube video added successfully, but then I don't see it.
Edit: Links to YouTube not allowed

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]It seems to be working for me. Be sure to check the IN LINE box just below where you paste the you tube URL.[/#800000][#800000] Also, if you go back and edit the post, you have to paste the URL and check the IN LINE box each time. Trial and error - don't cha know?[/#800000][/font]

Ain't gonna happen. Websites are about money. [green]$$$$[/green] If you leave this site, BFT loses money, and YouTube makes more.

I haven't tried it yet but I do plan to.
Is it really true that there is only one video allowed per post? No way!
