Every forum handles youtube videos differently. I will explain how you post your videos from youtube on Screamin' Serpent Coasters - K'NEX & CoasterDynamix Models

Now copy that little piece of text (ctrl+c or right mouse -> copy).

Now go back to sscoasters.net and type this:

I'd like to bring this thread to your attention again. Members often do not know the correct syntax for embedding YouTube videos. The post above shows you the exact steps in creating correct YouTube embedding code.



Another commonly used host for videos is PhotoBucket. Unfortunately, PhotoBucket's video URLs are more complex than YouTube's. However, they provide an easy way to 'embed' videos on forums.



When viewing your video on PhotoBucket, you will see a list of "Video Links". Click on the IMG Code (as pointed out in the screenshot above) and the code is automatically copied. Now you only need to paste it in a post on SSCoasters.
