Youtube Embed

[Covert Gunman]

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know about a little update we've made to the forums. We've added the option to easily embed a youtube video into a post. Here's a little tutorial for you.

When you go to add a new post, under the list of available tag sets (ex. center, left, right, spoiler, etc.) you will see a new "youtube" button.

When you click on that you will be given this:

Once you're given this what you're going to do is put a youtube link between the two tags, but there's a slight change you're going to need to make. If you just put the entire link, it won't work.

Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYC6i9Xod40

See? It doesn't work to leave it just like that. What you need to do is delete this part from the entire link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" In this case, you are left with this "PYC6i9Xod40". Now see, if you put just the last 11 characters from the link into the youtube tag set, you'll end up with this code:

[youtube]PYC6i9Xod40[/youtube]

And this result:

PYC6i9Xod40

And there you have it. We understand it's kind of a hassle to do it, and there is a way to work a around that so that you can put the entire link, but for now this is all we have set up.

We hope you enjoy this new option in the forums and can put it to good use. :)

This needs to be bumped, I see a lot of people who don't know how to do this.

This could probably be unpinned. As it is not longer the correct method.

But the nostalgia is too strong.

Agreed unpinned.

Someone has beat me to it and already unpinned it
