How can I show a video?

"I'm not an expert but making videos about backpacking is my passion."

Your dogs were not very impressed.

–B.G.–

To my knowledge, you can either post the YT link as plain text for people to copy and paste into the address bar or embed a link.

I know that with the BPL articles, the authors will on occasion embed the video but I don't recall seeing anyone do this here in the forums.

Edit fn typos.

You can only post links to videos hosted on other sites.

I just tried posting a link but a guy fixed my link. How did he do that?

get’s translated as

text

it’s HTML code

now the trick is what text to put in so it doesn’t get translated

I'm not a guy,but you are welcome :)

One of these days I'm going to Anna's School of Linkology to figure out how to do this right. I've tried several times and I screw it up every time.

Thanks Jerry. I got it.

Thanks Link for fixing my post.
