      The forum doesn't support HTML, so you'll have to just post a link.

      But for forums that do support HTML, YouTube supplies the code, which usually looks something like...

      Code: [Select]
      <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="YOUTUBE LINK"></param>
      <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
      <embed src="YOUTUBE LINK AGAIN" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
      <admin> formatting HTML code. ;)

      Many forums including this one do not support the ability to embed flash files into the posts because of security vulnerabilities.

      You're right, that didn't even cross my mind.

      Peccavi...sorry, buddy, but you'll just have to post a link to any videos you want to show.

      Am I the only one who didn't have a stretched window?  Even when I made IE smaller, the page didn't stretch.  *shrug*
