This is easy instructions on how to turn that YouTube link into the actual video on your posts on this website instead of a link. Some of us do not have the easy film strip icon under the tools bar when we make a post that would automatically do this for you, like myself. This will ensure everyone can do this.
Why do this? Well to me, it makes it look a lot cleaner and you don't have to open a new browser when you want to watch a video someone put on a post. Step 1. Find your video and copy and and past the link of the video on your post. *note You want the defined shorter link, not the long link This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3yMIqmR-EE Not this http://www.youtube.com/user/machinima#p/c/6656FE6D5A4D6973/4/N3yMIqmR-EE Both links will go to the same video, but only one will work, the shorter one. Make sure it has the word watch. Step 2. Insert [ TUBE ] yourlink [ /TUBE ] on either side of your link with NO spaces! *note the / mark on the right side of your link MUST be there. That's it, click "Post" and your video should be there! Goodbye ugly looking youtube links! |

If your doing this from a ps3 browser, press triangle to bring up the menu, go to File -> Copy Address of This Page at the bottom right of your on-screen keyboard you'll see the 'Paste' icon (the clipboard with a paper on it) paste your link in the URL place as described in the post above. ------------- http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator" rel="nofollow">
