Video URLs on sig...
Posted by: chaosdrifter06

I don't want a vid on my sig, just the URL. How can I stop the vid from turning into the player itself and just show the URL on the sig? Everytime I try it turns it into the actual vid and it doesn't show up on my sig. I even tried using the "[url]" brackets. The vid is from youtube by the way. I hope that's not the reason...

1991 Nissan 300ZX Non-Turbo: Mauled, disfigured, and crippled after braving the New England Winters like a hardcore soldier....so I sold it.

Current Plans:
1991 Stanza: Give it a rally setup with a turbo and 3 coats of POR-15 on the exhaust and undercarriage
1978 Datsun 280Z: Arizona Z suspension, and a turbo...oh yeah and paint...

Okay, I tried a few things out and I found a way to do what you want to do. It won't try to turn into the player if you get rid of the "h t t p : / / w w w ." part of the url. In other words, the url should look like this "youtube.com/watch?v=SImek_aRMNY" It won't come up as a link but someone could copy and paste it into their browser to watch it.
