Ok well i mainly use Firefox so havent been aware of this issue until now.

I just went in to the Prawn Stars thread and changed the video tag used to embed the video into the AFO forum. After this i have signed in with IE7 and it worked ok for me.

So please check and report back if this has fixed this issue.

[chubbstar]

Thanks Webbie, That has fixed the problem with that Thread.

Now when I go to the home page and press the "read more" tag for the 2008 BRC it kicks me off.

Sorry to be a pain,

Jayson

Cant replicate the issue with IE7, I can view that article fine. Though it may have to do with the google map that is embedded in that article.

yes mate it's easy just google mozilla firefox

and download it straight from the site

its heaps better for things with video applications of any kind

Im going to mark this as solved.

I will also do an article on how to properly use tags in forum posts but quickly if you want to link a video from youtube use the video tag.

So up above where the Bold, Underline, etc buttons are there is one called Video with a drop-down box. Simply select youtube from the drop-down box then a tag will appear in the post like

[video type=youtube][/video]

Now all you need to do is just add the id number of the youtube video. So a video with this URL (http://uk.youtube.com/watch? v=if76G9n3L5c) you just take the part after the = sign which is if76G9n3L5c.

So you place the

if76G9n3L5c inside the

[video type=youtube]if76G9n3L5c[/video] 

and then you will get an embedded video like below.

[video type=youtube]if76G9n3L5c

Yes please Webbie,

some of us do not just need the picture drawn,we also need it coloured in, for us to see the complete picture.

thanks

[AFO]

Yes, we will do. However we are still doing alot of behind the scenes work on the site and once we are all finished these other things we will look to put up more FAQs etc.

Dont worry they are planned
