To post a youtube video, open a post (hit the reply button).

Then hit the youtube button up on the tool bar. It's circled in red.

You should see that some text has appeared in your post. These are the youtube tags. Tags are surrounded by brackets "[" (open bracket) and "]" (close bracket)
Paste the url (web address) of the video that you want to post in between the two tags.
Now, remove the s from the https. It's circled in red.

Hit post and you're done!
Last, but not least, you can't post a youtube playlist, a set of youtube videos. Each video has to be posted individually.
Yay, Lynne! Got it.
As a slight addendum:
I don't think you can use shortened YouTube URLs. They must look similar to this:
http://www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=Noh0GQiSHNk&
and NOT like this:
http://youtu[dot]be/Noh0GQiSHNk
Also, you don't actually need the YouTube tags to post the video. You can just post the URL itself. :)
Thank you, Lynne, for making this how to guide! I really appreciate it!
You're welcome!

Phew! At last.
I've finally worked out how to paste images.
I used to use Photobucket but they now ban hosting and want me to pay a rent for
my existing images.
Not b----y likely.
A classic case of bate and switch.

Dear Mr. Frank, :seeya:
I am glad that you figured it out. :thumbsup:
I have only been able to post videos, no images. :-[
I have to try to figure it out as well....
I just wanted to mention, that I love the picture you posted here, I love the beret/hat,
and the child is adorable as well! :)
God Bless you! :pray1:
I can't to post videos in the new forum version. For example I want to post this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQLSL4geW8U&ab_channel=clubmegafreak2
But this happen:
[yt]tQLSL4geW8U[/yt]
We've never been able to post a channel or a playlist.
We don't even need the youtube tags anymore, though.
If I just post the url, it'll appear fine.

Okay now I can. I was posting it wrong. Ty.
