QuoteHow exactly do I do this? I clicked on the video embedding icon, but it asked for too many questions, about formats, size, etc. Do I just copy the youtube video address and paste it into the link/url section, and forget about filling out the rest?

UPDATE: These forums now support oEmbeds, which makes embedding YouTube videos simple!
- Copy the URL of the video's view page from your browser. (Or, get youtu.be "Share" URL)
- Paste the URL on a line by itself in your post editor.
- Save your post.
That's it! The video will automatically embed in your forum post. Follow the old directions below for embedding Flash movies from other sharing sites.

Great timing… I had just un-pinned this old topic about embedding media in forum posts earlier today! 
There are two ways to easily embed movies here in the Forums:
Use Video URL:
- Visit the video display page.
- Copy URL of video
- In your post/reply, click the Insert / Edit Embeded Media button (small filmstrip)
- Paste video URL into File/URL field
- Dimension fields should auto-populate and video should preview
- Ignore advanced settings, or be daring and see what happens
- Click Insert
Use Embed Code:
- Visit the video display page.
- Copy entire object embed code
- In your post/reply, click the HTML mode button ("HTML")
- Paste code where you want video to appear
- Click Update
In both cases, a yellow box will appear as a placeholder where the video will display upon sacving post reply. These same methods work for embedding video playlists as well as individual movies.
NOTE: These steps are based on and have been proven using YouTube videos. They should work for any site that provides embed code for shared videos.

I had read that previously and it works for the forum posts. But it didn't work for my blog post? Sorry to be such trouble. I can't afford the Supporter, and am trying to just embed (I cut and past the embed text from youtube) it into my blog. But nothing shows. Oh well, they show over on the forum. :)

That's because these instructions are for embedding videos here in the forums, as the title says. 
Adding videos to Tripawds Blogs requires activation of the Viper's Video Tags plugin, and the Plugins menu is enabled for Tripawds Supporter blogs – along with other enhanced features – upon upgrade. For complete details, see these posts about embedding videos in blog posts, and all about Tripawds Supporters. Members without a blog, or those who choose not to upgrade, can always share their videos here in the forums.
I hope this clears things up, sorry for any confusion. Thanks for asking!

Just testing to see if new oEmbeds work with youtu.be "share" URLs…

@raka Interesting video you chose to test. Start a new topic if you have any questions about canine amoutation or to share your three legged dog's story. FYI: Your future posts will continue to require moderation until you register.
