Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

You trying to make me pass out? I think I'm going to frame this.
Time for a new signature?

If that happens, I think we'll close up shop here and call it a wrap.

Its nice, but everyone's looking for the next Hasturah. This isnt it. Yankel Miller says these songs are treif...they cant live for a year  ;D ;D ;D
That song is on MBD's new album.

What's special about that video, is the choirs and music. It's a spectacular production.

It's happened a couple times in both directions.

ETA: I see now that @Yehuda57 said if we agree on a single post of his. i can't say if it was on his post or not but as I said it happened a few times already that CBC and I agree.

I hope you're talking about the application of the song's lyrics to modern smartphone culture, and not the song cover. I generally like their actual music (if not the concept), but their style does not pair well with this song at all.

Then again, I greatly prefer the original (just S+G's voices plus acoustic guitar) to the version that actually succeeded (with all the additional instrumentation dubbed on top), and that's gotta put me in the minority as well.

Yup, that's what I meant by "take."

That would put me in the minority as well.

I, personally, think it's an amazing cover.

Lol, was thinking the same: Shabbos, what a wonderful time to play ball as a family.

Also, at one point looked like Jew in the City was gonna break into song.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

My son's menahel cancelled a shabbos achdus because the boys may play ball on shabbos. . Last shabbos of the school year and last shabbos before they go to different high schools. Way to go.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
