Posting videos
I think there is something amiss with the software here.
Up to about 2 years ago I could post videos. About that time my operating system was changed from XP SP3 to Ubuntu Linux.

I have not been able to post videos for about 2 years. I noticed that DRG can still post videos but no one else does.

What is going on? Did Saeed stop the rest of us from posting videos or are there some software issues?

No, it is still working. You must be doing something incorrectly.

George I have never changed the way that I posted videos.

I copy the video url and paste it between the [FLASH__VIDEO] [/FLASH__VIDEO] (I changed the underscore to double underscore because the command will not remain visible with single underscores) and all I get is as follows:

You have to use the "old embed code".

The only choices I have when I right click on a youtube video here are

Copy video URL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AMQvBXmVbWQ

Copy video URL at present time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AMQvBXmVbWQ#t=55

Copy embed code

<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/AMQvBXmVbWQ?feature=player_embedded" height="360" width="640" />

I have no problems posting videos on gunboards

Like I said, you're doing it incorrectly; we use different software than some other boards..

Instead of right-clicking on the YouTube video, go to the video on YouTube.

Click 'Share'.

Click 'Embed'.

Click 'Use old embed code'.

Copy the http code in the text box.

In your post window here on AR, click the filmstrip icon.

Paste the copied http code inside the Flash video tags.
