Trying to Embed Video problems.

tkleager

Trying to embed a video and I just cant get it.  This is the code I copied from Youtube.  Anyone help a brother out?

Okay. For some reason, pasting the embed code shows up in my comment window but does nothing when I hit post. I have to copy and paste the url when you click "share" on the youtube site.

I am having the same issue with a yahoo video on another thread.

@Eggcelsior - where are you pasting the code?  Are you doing it right in the comment window, or are you putting it somewhere else.  I have tried in both places and I can get it to show in the comment window, but it does nothing with I post it.

When you want to share, go to the video on the YouTube site. Click on "Share" and you'll see "Share this video", "Embed" and "Email". You want the first one. with the funny'looking url(youtu.be/X1VMHQzwDwc). Copy that and past it into the text box here. That sometimes works(it used to all the time) but what I find works now is clicking the icon with the "T" on top of the clipboard up on the right side of the test box. A yellow field opens and paste it there. This works every time for me.

Hmm, both worked that time. YMMV.

just paste the url in your comment. no embed code.

Test 2 worked in just the comment box.

That is just what I go through everyday at the office.

As someone who has no vision insurance, what I go through is spending enough on glasses to get a small egg  :((

Speaking of those videos, this made the rounds in the hospital a few years ago.

@Eggcelsior,

Both the 50 cal and Ah Systole vids are great.

"I need to go.  My head hurts."

A bad day, getting caught in one of those 50 cal shell storms.  BAD ASS GUN.

Thanks for showing me how to do this.  The world is a better place.

@focker

MY favorite ortho joke was told to me by this awesome internist from NY that was training in Shock Trauma.

"How do you tell the difference between a medical doctor and a orthopedic surgeon?"

"When they hold the elevator, the MD uses their hand. The surgeon uses their head."

Looks like ya got it @tkleager‌ @500‌ but @Carolina Q‌ maybe not Michael?

Thanks @NPHuskerFL!  Now that I know how, I always watch this one when I'm feeling a bit low.
