posting youtube links?

Just a bit of a query I see some people are able to post embedded youtube clips but whenever I try and do it the clip never appears with the page only ever loading up about halfway. Am I doing something wrong? I put the link inside the youtube brackets but still nothing happens and I just end up posting the link. I'm not a big youtube poster type but it's always been a bit annoying I can never get it to work.

Cheers

Not sure if it's the entire YouTube link you tried to insert but you only need the part after the =.

e.g. this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qluAyEqP6IY will take you to the video on YouTube but to embed it on here you just need to copy and paste qluAyEqP6IY so you get...



Hope that makes sense...if not click 'quote' on my post and you should be able to see how it should look.

Gday Gozu,

I only recently learnt how to do this.

If we look at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSMqklLN ... ture=feedu

copy and paste the part after the =

..which is..

iSMqklLNaI0&feature=feedu

Then click on the youtube icon

then put iSMqklLNaI0&feature=feedu

between the 2 youtube brackets

..should equal
