ive need to find out if it is possible to embed video files into the news post. i have enabled html, and tried to used the embed feature from my video files hosted on youtube but all that shows up on the site is the text ive written, and not the video( i need to have both show)

If you've enabled HTML then embedded videos should work.

To make sure you've enabled it properly, goto Options > Access Levels > select the access level you're currently using, and change "Can this access level use HTML?" to Yes.

Then try again.

ya it was enabled. i disabled it then re-enabled it and it worked. thanks
