Is it possible to embed videos in this forum? If not, I respectfully request that addition. I think it would surely help the community. I don't need a button. I am looking for something like

I have some experience setting up custom BBcodes if someone wants to give me the reins.

Thanks,
Nicholas Seward

Hmm. The bbcode filter seemed to have foiled your attempt to tell me how to do it. Can you do an example but replace the brackets with parentheses?

I figured it out!!!!!!!!!!

Okay for everyone else just use youtube's standard embed code. I swear I have tried that before.

I know, old post. Sorry.

But I can't figure this out, or find an example anywhere on the forum to quote, and copy the embed code from.

I'm guessing either the bbcode rules have changed since 2013, or I'm having some other problem. Using the (Youtube)(/Youtube), and (CODE)(/CODE) don't seem to work.
