Mods:

I think this thread should be tacked/stapled to the top of this section along with the "how to post photos" thread. Is that possible?

Yeah, you're missing all the brackets. Here's another explanation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Post videos using the HTML code in the attached image below in your Reply as shown below, plus you need to put the ID tag for your video in the middle spot where it says "video ID tag" now (don't leave that in). Examples of the video tags are: p_O2dfkGWmg , Vkt29-HfIZc. Note that only YouTube will embed within APC posts. Each video on YouTube has one of these tags found in the URL after the "=" sign. DO NOT paste a full URL; that does not work. Eliminate any empty spaces also.
