Here is how to embed a YouTube clip in your post. I realized that I was the only one doing this, but it is not very obvious to figure out. SO I hope this helps.
Before getting started, you must know one MASSIVELY IMPORTANT DETAIL!!! This forum's code handling is very buggy, so,
YOU MUST USE THE YOUTUBE CODE BEFORE USING ANY OTHER CODE IN YOUR POST!!! (this includes pictures, weblinks, smilies, etc!!!)
When your video is finished uploading to YouTube, you will be given an embeddable URL link, similar to this one:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ALPHABETSOUP
To post this in the forums HERE (other web forums may be different), you need to do to things:
1) Use the following tags around the YouTube URL:
{flash 425:350}(YouTubeURLgoesHere){/flash} NOTE: You need to replace the {} brackets with []
2) Change the URL slightly, so that:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ALPHABETSOUP
becomes
http://youtube.com/v/ALPHABETSOUP
So, a completed embed would look like this:
{flash 425:350}http://www.youtube.com/v/ALPHABETSOUP{/flash}

Thanks for putting up this information! Couldn't figure what I was doing wrong and never could make that work.

| Photobucket? You mean to paste picture links? You'd do that like you would paste pictures from any other site. At least that's how it was when I used to have a PB account, but I closed it a year ago.
