To post a youtube video, click on the "insert" pulldown menu in the row of icons above the text box where you type your message.

In the pulldown menu, choose "media". This will open a pop-up box where you can paste the URL for the clip. Paste the entire url into box, and it will insert the clip for you...

When you preview the post, the clip should show up in the preview. If not, try try again...

Test for including a Video within your post.

I've been looking all over the place for the "video" icon thing and I finally found it after I changed my settings to "Standard Editor". Here is a test to include a video with this text. [video=youtube;pNFOlq5P1cU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNFOlq5P1cU[/video]

Also of note, you must go to "Go Advanced" to see a Preview of your post before you actually post it. I think this will work. Pivnic

Ok, hope that worked. Just got to the point where I took it out on it's first drive after sitting for 12 years.
