Someone told me how to do it, but I cannot find that post again,
on how to post a youtube video on here, instead of just the URL.
I am trying but it is not working for me and there seemed to be a trick.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
Thanks a bunch!

:D

Click to expand...
Highlight everything AFTER the "=" in the url link, and click on the YouTube button.
A popup will appear and you can type the tile you want to appear for the video.

Step 1. Go to youtube

Step 2. Find the video you wish to share

Step 3. There is an option under the video, to the right, entitled "share". Select this option.

Step 4. Go the link under all of the available "share" options. It should look like this. http://youtu.be/hzfHKHq6oco

Step 5. Starting in front of the first letter after the slash (/), delete the slash (/) and everything to the left. The link should now look like this hzfHKHq6oco

Step 6. Highlight the new "share" link, and select "copy" from the right-click option on the mouse

Step 7. Come back here to TOL. Select the youtube icon from the numerous option buttons. Enter the name of the video (or whatever you want it to say) in the new box provided.

Step 7. In the figure that appears afterwards, in the space between two square brackets, paste your youtube link you have copied.

Step 8. Voila! You now have this

If this is the "long way", I apologize, but it is typically the standard way on most forums with a YouTube option.
