How to Embed Video in a Post

First, you must have a video hosted somewhere.  But has to be a service supported by the Forum - Youtube, Daily Motion, Facebook, Liveleak, Metacafe, Veoh, or Vimeo. 

Start your post, and where you want the video to appear - click the video icon:

Select the proper service where the video is located and paste in the video URL.  Get that from your browser address bar.  When done - click "Insert":

Voila!  Video is embedded in your post!

Some of you may have noticed you no longer have to clear the hard coded "http:" when pasting your video link.  Instead - a placeholder "https" appears - which is over-written by your posted link.  Did this a while back to avoid doubling of the protocols.  i.e. "http://https://".  Wasn't a huge issue - but might've become one - depending on how browser standards evolved.  Besides, it bugged me.

Since most of our videos are Youtube, also modified the javascript so YT is first on the list.  Small change, but please report any issues in this thread.
