Greetings members,
We added a new feature to our forum. Now you can post actual youtube video clips here instead of a link to a video clip.
OrientalDancer.net does
not host any of the clips on this forum. They all stream from the youtube website. Also, it is not against youtube policy to stream clips from the youtube site, they provide html code for this purpose.
There was a youtube user that had uploaded Salome's video clips about a year ago, without her knowledge or permission. This does happen from time to time. If you find a video clip of yourself posted on this forum and you are displeased please contact Youtube or the youtube user who uploaded the clip.
How to insert a video clip
You can only insert a video clip from youtube. Video clips from any other location will not work. If you want to share your video you can upload it on youtube and post it here.
Open the youtube page that has the video you want to insert in the post.
In the address bar at the top of your browser you will see a url that looks exactly like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
After the = sign there will be a series of letters and numbers, see the example below in red.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xdJz57mkxU
Only copy the series of letters and numbers, for example 1xdJz57mkxU
Now, back at the Belly dance forum... Above the text field where you type your posts you will notice several small icons. One of them says "You
Tube". Click the youtube icon and you will see [ YOUTUBE ] [ /YOUTUBE ].
Your cursor will atomatically appear in between the two sets of youtube brackets, ]your cursor will be here[ now paste the series of letters and numbers you copied earlier. You can do this by clicking Edit - Paste in your browser or hit ctrl + v.
In order for it to work your cursor must be in between the brackts, only paste the series of letters and numbers and paste by choosing Edit and paste from your browser window or ctrl + v. Note that both youtube brackets and the code between them should be on one line.
