How to embed a YouTube video to start at a specific time... courtesy of JugglingReferee

Here's the code, spaced so that it displays code:

< object width="640" height="360" data="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/EogzHNEiCWU?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0&start=540&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" >
< param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
< param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
< param name="src" value="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/EogzHNEiCWU?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0&start=540&" />
< /object >

Remove the spaces before the word "object", before "param", and before the > that closes the "object". The spaces were included so that the forum doesn't think that this code is actually trying to embed something.

The video identifier must be changed, naturally. The beginning location is the number of seconds into the video in which to start. Also adjust other options.

I should also mention....for those that use Chrome, after you paste the code and have finished posting, your video may not appear immediately. For some, it might take leaving the thread, refreshing, then entering the thread before it'll appear for you.

If you're not sure, use another browser to verify as I've only had this issue with Google Chrome and not Firefox or Internet Explorer.
