Could someone kindly explain to me how you embed videos in the forum or mine entries. This seems to have passed me by.
Cheers.

I think I tried this before and it didn't work. Anyway another test run with a vid. exploring an unknown mine in Oquirr District, Utah I can't find the one I wanted to embed.

Mojave Underground explores an unknown mine in the Oquirr District, Utah. Discovered was an Eimco 12B Overshot Mucker, two slushers, several ore cars, and various other equipment.

Edit.
Didn't work but I'll leave the link as might be of interest. I'll hazard a guess and say it was probably a copper mine.

Very easy :)

Just take the video ID bit e.g.

jiQw3ngTQOw

Then paste that in your message, highlight it and click the YouTube button (just like the bold, italic etc.)

You'll end up with code that looks like this (slightly obfuscated to make it display here):

[ youtube]jiQw3ngTQOw[/ youtube]

Which will display as:

[youtube]jiQw3ngTQOw[/youtube]

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Thanks Simon. As a matter if interest what if the video isn't in YouTube. The one I was going to post wasn't but I can't find it at the moment anyway.
