Flash videos

Post by rollalongFF0304 »

Tried embedding a YouTube video tonight but wasn't able to do so using the code highlighted on the pepper post. As I look below this text edit box under Options, I see (sans brackets for posting purposes):

BBCode is ON
img is ON
flash is OFF
url is ON
Smiles are ON

I couldn't find the option on the control panel to turn it on...are flash videos an admin function only for the time being?

There's a bit of a trick to it... I've detailed it in a post in the free-for-all forum. Check out the section in the white box:

Thanks, Grant - I used that as a reference, but in my post window there is no flash button. The only buttons I've got are bold, italic, underline, quote, code, list, list=, *, Img, URL, and Font size.

Well, that's just messed up.... try clearing your cache. Here's what it should look like:

If that fails, try copying and pasting the code and doing it manually:

Code: Select all

[flash=width,height]http://url[/flash]
Sorry it's not working for you. Anyone else having the issue of not seeing the flash button when they create new posts?
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Me. I see the same thing he does. And when I try to post manually, it tells me "You cannot use certain BBCodes: [flash]." in red across the top of the page.
