I am not having any problem, just looking to see if anyone can take a stab at embeding video from this site.

Here is a link to a video on there right now:

http://animoto.com/play/4OhjNyXXNOJs9nOrjbKNVg#

Here is an interesting service they provide to embed it on a ton of social networking sites (for the same video)

Thanks for any help!

Cisco, I can't get it to work. Have you?

EDIT: Also, I am noticing that although the url has the "#" at the end, the source does not use that. However, removing that does not have any effect on weather or not this works for me.

I will go ahead and change it to {SIMPLETEXT} like you said in your previous post just for a test. Do you see anything I have done wrong? I copy/pasted your code right in there.

EDIT: After I change it, should I purge the forum cache?


EDIT 2: Simple text seems to be working now. I edited a previos post that I have been watching to see if it is working, made no change, and submitted it. Now it is working.....?
