YouTube??....

How do you get a YouTube video into a post without linking it?

Sorry if it's already been explained, I did look!

Copy and paste the direct link

The video will be embedded into the thread

I tried that... it just came up with....youtube/video/whatever.com, like as a 'word' link.

Direct link?

I'll look again

use the link thats in the adress bar and put it in as a web link on here (the little world logo thingy)

And for those interested (I know it has been asked before) if you want to link to a video but DONT want it to auto embed in RYL, then you can do so by unchecking the checkbox "Automatically embed media (requires automatic parsing of links in text to be on)." below your post (in advanced mode)

This will simply make the link show up as a link - so you can choose whichever suits :)

Hope that helps
