How to embed YouTube videos in your posts..

[TheRoadVirus]

I found this to be pretty useful information, because I didn't know how to do it before-hand. I was thinking we could make this a sticky, maybe?

Say you're wanting to post a neat little player in your thread showing your YouTube video..

Get the link for the video on YouTube,

Sample:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcy0PMIb9k

Copy everything after the = sign. (the vids ID number) in this case; kQcy0PMIb9k

Use the brackets to create the following tags.

{yt}paste your videos id number here{/yt} (use the [] brackets instead.)

And voila!

Wow, I guess I'm dumb. Lol. Maybe some computer wiz can fix this for me.. =P


Oooh, ok.. is there some sort of code that needs to be set up through vbulletin for this to work? From looking on google that seems to be the case... my bad.

Ryan (admin), look into this and see why it doesn't work. GET ON IT!

Moved to suggestion/site support forum.

And for those that do not know when you hit your "Post Reply" button and your reply box pops up, there is an icon that looks like

in the upper right corner of the reply box. Click on it, insert your youtube link and it will show up embedded in your post.

Thanks Ryan.

Someone wanna edit Ryan's post? I don't mod here. I think this is how he intended it to be...
