Thanked 115 time in 96 post

There is now a new You Tube button

on the editor toolbar when you 'create new thread' or 'reply to thread' Look closely at the icon.

All you do is put the YouTube video ID code between the tags, with no http url etc. like this


[youtube]H2BjkL5mJ1[/youtube]

(H2BjkL5mJ1 is simply an example)

Its usage is as follows:

where ID is the (currently 11-character) reference of the movie.

To explain a bit more simply: When you look at a YouTube video you will see a link in the browser bar like this, just copy the code at the end of the link AFTER the = sign

Then press the YouTube Button to generate the tags:

Then, paste the copied code between the tags:

Finally press 'Submit Thread'

Please Note: Do not include any & characters in the link code as they are not required and are blocked. This will however, not work for Photobucket videos at this time You can also paste the complete 'embed' link from youtube instead of the ID, in which case the parameters will be extracted to create the correct bbcode. If you specify parameters in the actual bbcode, they will override any pasted from the link.

Examples:
