How To Embed Videos In Your Posts

The new site isn't quite up to automatically figuring out that links to youtube are "video" links so it does not automatically embed the video here in the threads.

The link above is treated like any regular link, click it and youtube pops up in a new tab or window.



but if you use the button that looks like a film strip it will give you a place to imbed the url in a "video" tag and then it will be embedded here as seen below.







If you don't see the buttons like the film strip button, scoll down below where you are composing your post and click the "Go Advanced" button, that will display the various buttons that allow you to make a more complex reply.
