Lessons in posting [How to post youtube video]

I know there is supposed to be a new forum/web version coming around the corner, but I always seem to have trouble posting videos on this website.

Either way, my videos will never post properly.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 This is likely been covered, you have to click on Share on youtube.  Click on Embeded, click on USE OLD EMBEDED CODE.  Copy all the HTML code.  

In your post, type what you want, then click on SWITCH TO PLAIN TEXT EDITOR at the bottom.  Paste the code here.  Post.  You may not see the video right away depending on the browser.  You may need to hold CTRL and press F5 to refresh.
