I've seen some members unsure on how to post a video from YouTube to the forum, figured I'd create a handy how to guide, I'll update this as and when I work out how you embed a Photobucket video

If the video hasn't yet been uploaded follow these first 4 steps, if it is already uploaded just skip past these 4

What needs doing first is going to be uploading the video you want to post

Then when that's done you can click 3 separate links (see circled area's 1, 2 and 3) a new tab should open with the video

The next step is incredibly simple, all that is needed is to copy the link

And paste into the topic you are replying to

When you paste the link it will look like what is in the photo above (a https link) no need to worry about the video not showing, it will automatically embed itself when you reply to the topic (you can even test it out by clicking "preview topic")

For those wanting to insert a already uploaded video please just follow the 2 last instructions above, which is to copy the https link and paste it into the topic you wish to reply to, it should look similar to the https link in the photo below

Again this will automatically embed the video when you reply to the topic

Currently I am unaware how to embed a video from Photobucket, under the "help topics" section of the forum it does state there is a "media" option in the reply's section, however I do not see this option at all? Perhaps a forum moderator or Colin can looks into this, or if there is indeed a way, someone is more than welcome to add onto this by doing a tutorial themselves

At some point in the future, I will look to update this and also show how to do it via Tapatalk and the Mobile site

You didn't see FUBAR's awesome video tutorial on this then :p

 

 

Also covered in this one by default:

 

But, did you make a full blown tutorial in the "how to" section which basically just says to copy and paste the https link

No I put mine and a similar screen shot one in the actual thread people most ask the question, which you had to link this thread too :P 

Uploading a video from Photobucket is simple. In photobucket, click get links then copy the direct link and paste the link in your post.

I did try it, but it didn't work

But that would mean the epic fail of using photobucket in the first place
