Old embed code for youtube videos

Bob_LukenBob_Luken Posts: 10,004 ✭✭✭✭✭
I have in the past stumbled upon the old code among the new crap but I forgot how I found it. It used to be easy. Click on *share*. click on *embed*. click on *use old embed code*. In the "How to format your posts [Now with Emoticons aka Smilies]" thread it states that I need to use a code. Cut and paste. Is that the only way to post youtube vids to ccom now? Seems like I stumbled upon a way to click on the old embed code within the new embed menu on youtube but I forgot how to reveal it. Any tips or tricks?

    Did you hit the "MORE" button?

    The more button does not reveal the old code any more. It used to. Now defunct.

    it appears that youtube removed the "old embed code" feature within the last couple weeks.

    the new "iframe" code does not work on these forums.

    use the code below (i have updated this in the formatting thread as well)



    <embed width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Unique Video ID Goes Here">

    You'll find the Unique Video ID in the URL, example below (bolded)


    Video URL from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGd1eiLKY_8

    Embed code would look like this:
    <embed width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qGd1eiLKY_8">

    And resulting video should look like this:

    Has YouTube changed the Unique Video ID in the URL? I cant get our handy shortcut to work anymore :(

    Maybe the software upgrade CCom is planning will be more user friendly and video posts won't be such a royal pain.

    I will be forever curious as to why YouTube would commit such a heinous act.

    I figured it out,...... for now,......... until I forget how to do it next time I try it.

    Nope. They promised an update in a thread a while ago.

    Hope we don't lose all our old posts. I remember members discussing this before and there was talk of an upgrade but the posts in the old format couldn't be saved in the process and the old posts would be gone from the system. Where is this thread where they talk about upgrades?

    Yes they did.
    Now to see if they will deliver on it.

    this is a very real possibility unless they are just updating this CMS to a newer version.

    i have been a part of message boards for the better part of 17 years and have been through "upgrades" and very few upgrades to completely different versions of message board software come with the ability to import old threads......it sucks, but true.
