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)

A 7-year-old girl who fell from a third-story window in Brooklyn Monday escaped injury when she was caught by a hero neighbor. “I just prayed that I’d catch her,” said the girl’s savior, Steve St. Bernard, 52, an MTA bus driver. “I was right underneath her.”
The girl crawled out through an empty space next to the air conditioner in the window of her family’s apartment in the Coney Island Houses about 2:10 p.m., cops and witnesses said. She created the opening by pulling aside the accordion-style plastic partition attached to the side of the air conditioner, witnesses said. After crawling out, she clowned around, singing and dancing on top of the air conditioner as a crowd of kids looked on from below before losing her balance and falling, witnesses said. St. Bernard, who lives in the housing complex, was alerted by the cries of onlookers. “I went over there to make sure if she fell I could catch her,” St. Bernard said. “I’m not a hero — anybody would have done it. I did it out of normal instincts.”
One of his own four children is the same age as the child who fell, he said. He said he was just worried he might not manage to catch the child. “I thought to myself, let me get over there and catch her. I just hope I don’t drop her.”
The catch knocked St. Bernard, a father of four, to the ground. “She fell and she put her hands out,” said witness Jesse Padilla, 9. “Her head hit a bush, but Steve caught the rest of her body.” The lucky girl was uninjured but taken to Coney Island Hospital as a precaution, police said. Her mother would not talk to reporters Monday night or give her name. St. Bernard was treated and released from the same hospital for a torn tendon in his left bicep from making the lucky save.

I heard the guy being interviewed on the radio, but I didn't realize the girl did all of this on her own. She deliberately crawled out there and it even seemed like she fell forward intentionally. Really messed up stuff.

Yes he said it.  I love it.  The political fights are getting increasingly hairsplitting.  Everyone watched Obama's speech and everyone watched Romney's speech.  Yet, there is still bitter debate on whether Romney took it out of context or not.  LOL
