Why can't I load youtube clips here?

I click on the 'VID:YOUTUBE' and paste in the embed code and it doesn't work. Then I paste in the URL. Nope.

This is 'copy embed html:

This is 'Copy Video URL' : www.youtube.com...

I'm going to try one more thing to see if it's Internet Explorer causing the problem. Going to google chrome.

If, for example, this is the url of the video you want to post on ATS:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L42Q7scNONg

..What you need to copy to make it work for ATS is this: [yvid]L42Q7scNONg[/yvid]

Basically all the letters after the = in the url and they have to be placed in the youtube tags as shown above.

You're putting to much into the youtube video code,

All you need from your video is this part here: L42Q7scNONg

Its the string of characters right after the equal sign in the url.

Glad you got it working!

Good job. Glad to see you got it working right already
Perhaps maybe some simple instructions in the popup boxes might help for future use?

Just want to point out that is only partly true. All the letters after the equal sign, but if you have arrived at a youtube page from another video, or possibly an embed on another site, the url you will be given will be too long. At that point, you copy the letters between the = and the &

Yep, thanks for pointing that out.

Some links will look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L42Q7scNONg&feature=relmfu for example

And all that need's to be added for it to work is this: L42Q7scNONg.
