Do I need BBcode or something else?

[bosra75]

Hi all

I would like to embed videos from places like CNBC.com and bloomberg in my forum threads. An example of a video from CNBC.com can be seen here. My forum is mymarkets.ie ( a forum for traders to discuss financial markets). I have seen this done on other sites like this one here. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Please note I do not have a computer / tech background. Cheers all

Hi Lynne

Thanks for your quick response. Is there anything a lot easier for me to install so I can embed the videos I require from CNBC etc. I have no computer experience and I don't want to destroy my forum with something complicated. It also says that vbulletin 4.03 caused bugs in that mod. Any help would be grately appreciated

cheers

You could write some bbcode probably. I don't know the code offhand though.

Thanks Lynne. Would anyone else be able to offer some help in this regard or make some suggestions. Please note I do not have a computer / tech background so I can't write code. I am looking for something that is easy enough to install and that maybe is proven over a decent period of time without bugs being reported.. Cheers all

If you look at the site, you can get the embed code just by clicking on the Share button. The red numbers are the unique ids you would need to replace in your bbcode:
