Question: Youtube Video Problem

[El Héroe Oscuro]

I have a quick question about posting a Youtube video/putting it in your profile. I took that embedded code of a video and put it in my profile, but whenever I look at my profile it shows a blank video with no end time for said video, and when I click play it says there is an error loading.

How do I make it so that the video will actually appear in my profile, as well as if say I want to put a video in a blog that the same mistake does not occur?

You don't take the embed code or anything, you just paste the actual video URL into the field. :3

Could you give me an example by chance? Unfortunately, I've got the intelligence of a four year old I'm still having some difficulties aahhhhhhh.

Nevermind I fixed it! Thank you again for your help! :3

I'm having this same problem, and the aforementioned solution isn't working for me. When I just paste the URL into the post it just turns it into a link without actually embedding it. Here's the post. How do I embed it the way everyone else on the thread did?

As stated above, you use the [youtube][/youtube] BB code tags. Take the URL code after the /watch?v=urlcodehere and paste it inside the tags.

Your code would be this: [youtube]PXzuDXZwZtI[/youtube]

Got it, thanks. I wasn't clear on that from the first post because I usually take the term URL to refer to the entire URL including the domain and protocol.
