On a cycling forum, roadbikereview, circa 2005, I brought the invention of YouTube videos. I think I got a temp-ban for it, people didn't understand. It's a copy/paste thing. Copy the link of the YouTube video from your browser...and past it in the body of your post.

The world is ready for your first video.

. . . but I don't believe this version of V-bulleting supports embedded videos. Keith A would be the authority, though, as he is the Paceline tech guru.

i can post url of course. i was trying to figure out how to post the image, so that you can see the video within paceline website, not redirected to youtube.

Haven't had luck here doing that...

Apparently it works across the hall.

I guess we're on the budget version of VBulletin... ;) :D

PLEASE NO!

A link is good enough.

i like an embedded link when viewing from smartphone, hence the inquiry.

from desktop, i don't care--another window just pops up.

PLEASE NO!

A link is good enough.I agree. YouTube is blocked here at work, so the embedded video would come up for me as an empty space in the post. If someone embedded several in one post, it would be annoying scrolling down past all that empty space.

thanks for the laugh!
