Default how to insert videos and pictures for dummies

seen many people strugling with inserting properly videos and pictures. so me decided maybe would be usefull to make tutorial on this subject.

notice#1: tuts turned out a bit long because, you know, if i just briefly show you ''press this pimp, turn this off'', next time you need to do some job, you found out that you completely forgot how to do all this shxxte, but if you know subject a bit deeper, understand whats goin on under the hood... you get the idea?
notice#2: this was tested only here on Geeks forum, on other places it may be a bit (or completely, lol) different, although principles should be about the same.
notice#3: in some haxor code you may find spaces in it, because if you try to show this ''as is'', without spaces, it gets executed and what you see is just video or picture or whatever you used code for. while doing your dirty jobs, for da magic take full effect, you must remove spaces.
example with spaces [ B ]bla bla bla[/B ]
exactly same code without spaces bla bla bla you just see already bold text, code itself magically dissapears
get the idea? uff... well, dont worry, read on anyway, youll get idea later.


=====================================
so let di massacre begin!


you have some superdumpermega video, which, after posting it on forum shows for fellow sufferers your elite sense of humour/taste in music/your walk in da park/how big is your.. whatever. good video

look at pages with videos you wanna insert. (notice#4: this was tested only with youtube videos, no idea how to insert vids from other services. maybe we need some other 1337 h4x02 code, maybe masta Geek needs to turn on some options somewhere in deep dark recesses of hell on admin control panels, no idea)





look closely at address bar. for housewifes it looks just as pile of crap, but you, as an elite haxor immediately notice that these lines have something in common.

see, all these addesses are actually divided into something like blocks, and each block represents some usefull/useless information.
on this particular forum we need one particular block from those links, nerds call it ''video identifier'', in all youtube links it is at the same place, that is between symbols = and & (or just all block after sign = as in our example video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqyIaNWP0T0&ob=av2e
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_2PzwUgCFA&feature=player_embedded#!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcybJfp1o4Q&feature=player_embedded

on our example video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI that would be block 9EcjWd-O4jI

enter ''reply to post'' mode and copypaste this video identifier.





dont be upset, thats not so easy, we are only half way through

we need one more elite haxor thingy, called ''tag''. tags are something like special magic spells used by Harry Potter to make fun, like to offense someone or unlock the doors of cupboard with sweets. with tags you can do all sorts of naughty fun, like make text bigger, color it like rainbow or insert pictures and videos in your post. when you reach level of uberhaxor, using them (or something like that) you can even make your own small yourtube. (well, for this you need couple more things, but thats not topic of this tutorial)

tags are used in pairs (in geek lang: [''opening tag''][/''closing tag'']) and looks something like this: [sexy][/sexy], [pic][/pic], [sweets][/sweets], [boobs][/boobs] etc, there are thousands of them. you just wrap them around some text and voila, you are Harry Pokker!

particularly for inserting videos in this forum we will use youtube tag [yt][/yt]. for magic take effect we use our earlier copied video identifier 9EcjWd-O4jI and wrap it around with youtube tag like this [yt]9EcjWd-O4jI[/yt]



of course you can write some comment or sumtink under/abowe it

congrats amigo, you can post it on forum now!

(for security reasons, its advised to press ''preview post'' button, magic is serious bussines, you can never be too careful)

yey, we are half way to elite ranks of trol... uff, i mean, wizards of matrix!!!11
