FAQ: How to add youtube videos directly into your topic

[Merlin]

Posting youtube videos into the forum in a new topic or in your post as a reply is really easy.


See the screen capture below




The highlighted item is specifically for adding a single youtube video clip.

Single click on the youtube icon and "forum code" will be input automatically into your post.




Now we need a video to add to the forum post 

Let's go youtube and pick one.

Here i picked a random video clip. The screenshot shows a part of the url code that relates specifically to the video content and that is the code we require to add to CBF forum for it to work.





So now we have the unique youtube code for this video.

axyAupIDfgI

All we need do now is add this unique code to the forum code that we generated earlier on the forum

(It's important that the video code is placed inbetween the two sets of forum code. here i have made spaces inbetween so you can see exactly where it goes)

That's all there is too it.

All that is left to do is hit the PREVIEW button on the forum to make sure that all is ok




If all ok then select POST

You can include the WHOLE of the YouTube URL, you don't need to cut part of it.

Find a video on YouTube, copy the URL from the address bar, start a message on the forum, press the YouTube button and paste the URL between it
