Larger Than Life

Well I tried to post a YouTube clip here but it didn't work. What's the secret? Can I delete this and start over?

dutchie posted instructions on how to do that here. I tried yours and came up with:



Just put the youtube tags (once) on both sides of the 'sQPufdb0Hs0'
You added too much stuff.

Thanks Steve for explaining that. The code is different here to that used at Space.com, (where the entire url is put between the "Youtube" tags.) It may be that the method used here at LTL is better actually, because some videos don't embed at SDC (for example the ones with "feature-related" in the url.)

As for the Steve Canyon video, it's a great little preview Jim, cheers!

I understand some of this can be kinda confusing to an individual - especially so with really lengthy urls mixed with caps/smalls alpha/numerics interspersed with signs - but there's an easy way to figure this out, its' never failed me, so I'm going to tell you what it is I look for and extract from the url, hopefully, you'll find it just as easy as well.

Let's say a friend refers you to a video. You watch it, than you decide you'd like to use it in a post, (but) the url looks so gawdawful long you don't know where to begin or where it ends. . .Let's say it looks something like THIS:



And you're looking at it thinking WTF? Heh. . .Don't be frightened. Here's the same url, the only difference is, I am going to outline in red with a placeholder showing you what part of the url you need to extract, placing between the proper Youtube brackets so you may display the video to others as a click-and-play:



And the final result will look like this to the viewer:

I think I'm not going to bother trying to post pictures or videos. Too much work for not enough return.

Besides, I get enough of this: already!

Yes, but I'm not a Coder.

Below is one of my favorite sayings. Here is another, "Anything is easy when you know how."
One day I might find a picture that makes me think learning how might be worth it.

Don't hold your breath!
