Youtube BBCode

[ccgr]

To use the youtube BBCode feature just click the handy youtube button and only paste in the video id not the whole url...the forum will take it from there hope this helps!

Here's a more in-depth tutorial, for those confused (Not attempting to one-up you ccgr, just making a details tutorial for those who can't figure it out still)


Take this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-8AOddGy4Y (It's the Raconteurs, "These Stones Will Shout")

The video ID is 1-8AOddGy4Y. You take everything after the ?v= part of the URL, and copy it to the clipboard (Control-C or right click on the selection and hit copy)

Then, open up the youtube code like so: (Ignore the code box, it's there to let you see what the BBCode looks like)

Code: Select all

[youtube][/youtube]

Then, paste the Video ID (Use Control-V or right click, paste) and it should look like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube]1-8AOddGy4Y[/youtube]

Now, when you post the message, it will appear like this:

Huh.

So that's how you do that.

For the life of me I've been unable to do it thus far.

Well now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

What do I do if it has =related next to it? Because I did what you said and it did not work.

[Deepfreeze32]

You'd have to show me an example...

[ccgr]

strip off the related or anything with a & preceeeding it, we just need what's between v= and the next &
