YouTube / Video Help

[AccyJay]

I've tried (unsuccessfully) to post a YouTube video. Can anybody please tell me how to do this. I've tried to follow Neil's instructions (link below, post number 9), but to no avail.

Thanks for the karma, AccyJay.

The problem people have when trying to show you html formatting etc is that the instruction is followed if they type the actual thing correctly and you see the result rather than how to acheive it - so they try to get round it by leaving spaces or inserting asterisks, which isn't always clear. I do it by sticking some more html in which isn't visible once the post is posted.

or you could simply use the tags, [noparse]value[/noparse]
