Below is a quick tutorial on how to easily copy and paste embed code into a new thread, or into a reply. Many websites have videos that you can share with other people without having to download them to your local computer. Just in case you don't know how to put that video you want to share so much into a thread, here is how to do it:

Step 1: Find a video you like on a website. I found this video on BuzzHumor by performing a search for G35.

Step 2: Look for where it says “embed” with some code beside (or below) it, in this case it can be found below the video. Copy that whole string of code.



Step 3: Create a New Thread, and simply copy and paste the embed code that you copied in Step 2 into the message. The same procedure is done for creating a reply to a post.

Step 4: Preview your post, and you should see the embedded video displayed. If it worked, submit your new thread, or your reply.

This is the result of example above:

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="400" src="http://www.buzzhumor.com/player/embedflvplayer.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="autostart=false&file=http://media.buzzhumor.com/28/g35_aps_single_turbo0Z48P.flv&bufferlength=3" scale="showall" name="index"></embed>

Here is example code from Youtube.

What if under the Posting Rules it says HTML code is OFF. How do you change it to ON for the Tread.

When you are replying to a post at the bottom right, there is a box that says Posting Rules
you may post new threads
you may post replies
you may post attachments
you may edit your post

vB code is On
Smilies are On
[IMG] code is On
HTML code is Off

 

yeah, HTML code is off in the thread I created but it's on here, WTF?

 

i think this only works in certain forums - the lounge, anything goes, video share.

jay, can you confirm that?

 

Any forum that has HTML code is On, will display embed code.

 

why doesn't the G35 sedan forum have it enabled?

 

Most likely because a place exists in sub-forums that would better suit your thread (ie: video, image, media type content).

 

ok ok... fair enough.
