I was wondering How do you put a video from you-tube into the thread ? Not the link but the actual video ?
 
You take all of this stuff that's in the embed link
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r0xFyiwpfZ0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r0xFyiwpfZ0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Delete everything outside the url quotes and keep what I marked in orange. Then put flash tags at the beginning and end of the url so it looks like this

PHP:
[flash]http://www.youtube.com/v/r0xFyiwpfZ0&hl=en[/flash]

When your done it should look like this

 
But you know what? This might be a better poll thread... I prefer just the link, instead of the embedded player. That way I can copy and send the link if I so desire, or copy it to my blog, or whatever... maybe that's just me.

If you click the video itself while it's playing, the orig ppage will pop up.

i tried imbedding a video. I got a white box but it never did have video in it. Does imbedding require the entire content of the video to be uploaded to the post? If so I am out of luck due to my upload speed. Does anyone know?

You do not have to download it before embedding it. If you just get a white box, then there is something amiss in your link.
