Hi all,

There should now be a new Youtube icon in your editor buttons http://www.kickboxermag.com.au/forum/images/editor/youtube.gif. This will allow you to embed Youtube videos directly into your posts.

Please follow these instructions to use it:

1. Click the http://www.kickboxermag.com.au/forum/images/editor/youtube.gif button, this should insert a set of empty youtube tags in your post.

2. Add the youtube clip string between the tags.

The clip string is the group of characters and numbers after the 'watch?v=' from the youtube page address. So for example,

The webpage address for a youtube clip is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=707b3hd5maQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0, the clip string is the 707b3hd5maQ, do not include anything else after the &.

If anyone has difficulty using this just PM me.

Cheers,
Admin

if you click on post reply it should appear (it did for me)

Admin, I'm finding it's taking AGES to load, ie Russ's still hasn't loaded after 2 minutes.

Might not have the code right Bushi.. if you dont have it, it will be a blank white screen where the footage should be.
