Videos live, or links, what's the deal?

[Doug]

So I post a video link from youtube and it comes out like a link instead of te vid itself. I try either the link at top of page, or right click the video body and copy video URL and it still come out a link.

 

Is this the way Yall want it now, or is there something wrong?

 

It is kind of kool and more personal to have the vid.

Here is how.

 

Youtube:

1. On YouTube page click share, and copy the link
2. On Candle place the resulting link between media tags [media ][ /media]

Facebook:

1. Right Click the video and open in a new window or tab.
2. Note the sharing rights on the page, if says public it should be view-able here, if says anything else it will not be view-able by others here if they are not a friend or like the facebook user.
3. Copy the above address
4. On Candle place the resulting link between media tags [media ][ /media]

YouKu is similar to Facebook

 

Note: the above tags I placed a space in them to make then show in this post, normally tags do not have spaces in them.

Nothing that I know of, latest version of site software installed over weekend addressed a lot of bugs, seems to be very normal now.

 

Recent version of site allows for much better screening of spammers, lately not one has tried joining site, only real poeple, and quire a few lately.
