Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / How to Embed Youtube Videos
Hi Everyone,

PI2C asked how to embed Youtube videos. This is the procedure:

When creating a new post, you will see a button with the icon .... Click it. Once clicked you will see in your post the following:

Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200][/flash]

You can change the 200,200 values above to increase/decrease the size of your video to suit your needs.

Now copy the video URL you want to post. You should have something like:

Code: [Select]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e6m0VbgSGc

You will need to slightly edit the URL to work. This is how you do it:

Paste the URL between:

Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]

and

Code: [Select]
[/flash]

Now replace “watch?v=” in the URL with “v/’ and your final string should look like this:

Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]

Which will give you a result like this:

[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]

Increasing the:

Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]

to

Code: [Select]
[flash=400,400]

Will give you this:

[flash=400,400]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]

Now play my Youtube submission and thank me later for enlightening you...  :D

The problem some people might have is that they can't login or register and can't post their problems either, they'll be stuck in limbo, maybe the admins need to provide a contact email for a week or two.
Glad to be here anyway, it's a nice site.

That was an issue with the Gmail account I set up for registration purposes. Google or Gmail admin decided the account was sending out too many emails and marked it as a spam account therefore blocking all outgoing emails, hence why some of you never received it.

I have since set up an alternative email server to get around the problem.

For those of you who haven't received a registration email, I have manually authorised your account so you should now be able to log on using your nominated Username and Password.

Sorry for the confusion, but Google are a pack of Nazis!

Just curious, how can I get my avatar to show up bigger in the forums ? I tried unloading then reloading it, but it still seems to be the same size. According to my image viewer program (Preview on a Mac) the actual image I'm using is 310x232 pixels.

Try uploading it again. If you look at the properties of the current one in you profile it is 65x38 which makes sense because previously the limit was 65x65 and it would have been resized to keep the proportion right.

A big warm welcome to all members of the club & we hope you enjoy yourself when you are here. Just remember, this is YOUR club and the look and feel of it will be determined by the quality of your input.

If you are not sure of anything or would like your voice to be heard, ask a question via 'private message' to one of the moderators or you can post your question in this forum. Conversely, always keep an eye on this branch for announcements regarding important issues on the site.

The aim of the site is to be an online clubhouse for all supporters of the CARLTON FOOTBALL CLUB to meet & discuss everything from the bootstudder to the next premiership. We openly welcome opposition supporters too as their presence can lead to some good natured banter and they can also provide a different perspective on a lot of discussions. In other words, if you are a footy fan who has BOTH eyes open, we will certainly enjoy your input.

Have fun and 'quality posting' to you all !!

REGARDS
