The Origami Forum

Today i was checking the thread about videos of action models viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6029&p=62805&hilit ... ube#p62805 and the videos that used to be linked there are no longer so. One would have to copy the link and paste it elsewhere to see the videos. Can this be fixed?

The short answer: Yes, it can be fixed.
The long answer: With the update of the Forum software to phpBB3 all video links on the Forum became invalid because of different formatting standards on the new board. Since the YouTube links are country specific different, depending on the person who posted them, this isn't possible by simply running a script to change all the links to the new format. So to changing those links into working ones has to be done by hand for every single link. Since this is a lot of work, we (moderators) haven't done it yet and probably won't in the future.

Thanks I'll update the links on that thread (at least the ones I posted) myself.

EDIT: The links are working now, but I didn't do anything to them.

I changed the links for this one topic, should have mentioned that I guess.

Thank you

So how does this youtube tag work? I thought you just pressed it and then put the url to the youtube video in between the two parts, but it shows as the tags and the url but not the preview of the video, as in
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C36vC5knEow[/youtube]

Well you only put the number like this [youtube]C36vC5knEow[/youtube]
This part "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" isn't necessary any more.

Thank you
