Hi, welcome to the forums!

You add a Youtube video to a post by using the tags. However, you only use the alphanumeric bit at the end, e.g. on this CoDz video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zRSdh6Zfy8

I would only use the "7zRSdh6Zfy8".

This would then be placed between the tags, like below, but the asterisks (*) would be removed.

[youtube*]7zRSdh6Zfy8[/youtube*]

Hope this helps!
