How to make youtube video links as images

Post by BriefCasey795 »

If you probably saw someone make a clickable image that lead to a youtube vid, Then you are probably wondering how to do it. Well i will teach you. one you will need these:

A youtube video link
A youtube video thumbnail image.
url bbc code.
img bbc code.

First you can obviously copy and paste a youtube url. (Right click the link of a youtube vid, and hit copy) Then you set up your bbc code. use the [ url ] (used spaces to make visible) bbc code set up like this: [ url= ] and then put your youtube video link.

Example: [ url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktpuiNHE29E ]
then next to the ] on the /url, go to the image thumbnail of a video. right click it, hit copy image location. use the img code and put the link after the url= code. then it should look like this:

Example: [ url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktpuiNHE29E ][ img]http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/ktpuiNHE29E/default.jpg[ /img][ /url ]

Now we remove the spaces, and we get this:

Image

Viola! You just made a clickable youtube video! Now a mod should sticky this in case a user is wondering to know how to do this.

Wow. This was so informative. I mean, any person can do it but my god. This tutorial is amazing. This should be stickied.

No, but seriously. Why do you try so hard to get things stickied. It probably won't happen, and you'll probably never get modded.

I don't think you should be so blunt about wanting a topic stickied Red Chao.

Exactly, but it probably won't get stickied. I'm sure everyone knows how to do this, and if they don't when will they need to use this. I'll laugh when this isn't stickied. And I'll eat **** when it is.

I'm confused why I can't just say what the video is and post it.

Doing this thumbnail thing is just not needed.

You were a newb once weren't you retro? Cool down a bit on the ones who do have questions so they turn out as well adjusted as we did.

By that I'm lying of course, but at least they won't be noobs.

Okay.

But my point still stands.

Why should I do this when I could just do This?

Because you're not new, maybe there's a newbie who wants to post a picture and make it a link. Something like that however, sounds pretty rare unless we start trying to do it on the website.

Don't turn this into a pony argument, we're taking over the website fine and well. We don't need to anger the natives anymore then we have already.

Haha. I have to admit, Red Chao's comebacks are getting better. He will make a good troll one day. The force is strong with this one.

I'm not tying to become a troll. Just because i was using the troll face, doesn't mean i'm a troll. I just used it out of pure boredom. Also, out of boredom, i made this:

I think it's been long enough. See Red, if you try to get a sticky topic it won't happen.
