I have no clue if this will work because it hasn't so far for displaying videos properly. If I have failed at doing this, please, someone tell me so I can try fixing it because I honestly don't really understand the youtube tags thingy. ANYWAY, Here is my ATTEMPT to share my review of the Platinum Edition One Shall Stand, One shall Fall set! .
If you wanna see the transformations, feel free to check out the Classics Optimus vid and the Classics Megatron Vid!

There you go. Your problem was that you were using { } at points when they should be [ ], you can edit your post to see what it should look like, but apart from that, you did everything correctly

Thanks, but this gets weirder. I didn't use any bracets because I just hit the youtube button that is actually immediately above me as I type so it came up automatically. Even weirder, when I initially posted these three vids, and submitted, the post showed up with the code rather than the videos. So, I actually deleted the post and refreshed the page to try again. When I did so, the deleted post was back...with the three vids. Sounds odd, yes? Eitherway, I am glad they are working but I am realllyyy ill at ease about using these things yet,lol. Sorry if I have given you a headache for being dense,lol.

Hmm, it worked for me, so it's likely a hiccup, or perhaps a device conflict. Either way, don't be too perturbed, you can always type out the tags yourself its just: [youtube]video code[/youtube]. BUT, if this problem persists try to get a screencap or otherwise clarify the issues that you're having and post it here => problem reporting thread

I didn't know there was a problem as I was completely unaware that such tags even existed. Thing is, when I tried using them and hit submit, what showed on the screen was actually , no video, the actual words. Honestly? I doubt it is a tech issue. I figure it is a me not knowing what I'm doing issue,lol.Pfft, I still bloody struggle with text messaging sure,lol!

Okay, for starters, you can use the Youtube tags okay, it's the code between those tags you're having a problem with.

For example, this is the address for your first video.

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[b]_kUDCb0nFLE[/b]&feature=youtu.be

See the v= and the &feature? The bit of text between those bits is the video code.

_kUDCb0nFLE

That is what you insert between the Youtube tags.

Code: Select all

[youtube]_kUDCb0nFLE[/youtube]

Which was what I did...I thought. Hmmm, could I have messed it up if, say, I had a space between the code and the tag? I am sure this is my fault and no technical glitch, just a glarring example of how I do not adapt well to tech at all. Can you imagine what my poor family has to put up with? Thanks for the advice. I think it is going to boil down to trial, error, repeat until I get it right.
