i had trouble posting youtube videos in threads as one of those neat "clickable" images using the round "film reel" icon in the HAMB text editor, so i set out to figger how its done and decided to share it here where the majority of the HAMB "how do i do xxx?" threads seem to be... if its out of place, dump it in the trash
VERY simple way to do this, is when you post your youtube video, look in the link that your video is hosted under, and select all the stuff after watch?v=
this link looks like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2HMivE9mtc
so what you cut out from the link would be this:
s2HMivE9mtc
THEN... simply paste that line of numbers and leters into the HAMB text editor, and highlight it (drag your mouse over the line with your cursor, holding down the left click button)
once it is highlighted, click on the little film reel icon above the editor box. it looks like this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/hamb/editor/yt.gif
this wraps a markup tag around the code for your youtube video.
after all that, your video looks like this in your post!!!
