Noob question: How in the name of my socks that are holy do you get the unique ID of a YouTube video to embed it in a message; or, put another way, how do you embed a video in forum posts? I've been dicking around with PC's, networks, and hacking for 20+ years, and I feel like an idiot 'cause I can't figure this one out. Must be an age thing...Tongue out

When you go to a youtube video look at the URL in the address bar you will see something like this

 

 

you copy the part after the = sign into the box (

) - this is the 'unique ID'

Thanks

It must be an IE9 thing.

I can't even post a picture in IE9 (script error) but Firefox 4.0 works.

 

here's my toolbar in IE9
