How do you make the rectangle Youtube video appear so that all you have to do is click the arrow in the middle of the screen and it plays? I can put in a link to a video so that it is accessible. But it looks more interesting to have the screen there.

Maybe you have to be signed in to Youtube as a member and I am not.

Nyamera, I know you can do this and I have a feeling your are rather proud of this accomplishment. You could show off even more by descending your mound and sharing your knowledge.

Or anybody else can too.

Nyamera kindly whispered the secret (one herbivore to another) on another thread, but whether it should be shared with a cheetah is debatable. Still, they aren't that much of a threat are they! tongue.gif

You put youtube in square brackets at the front of your link and /youtube in square brackets at the end.

Ok, I’ll descend.

Yes, but you don’t use the whole link. Just the numbers at the end, like for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8R2Lp_S9Es it’s [ youtube ] -8R2Lp_S9Es [ /youtube ] without the spaces.

And don't forget, to be really neat use the

And I was ready to give away the secret Safaritalk handshake. Gosh it's just no fun running this place anymore...
