I see this a lot and since we do not have a youtube button, here is a Quick and Dirty How To.

Lets start with the URL for one of my Favorite Youtubes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEyrhdBIyD8

Now to break this down, all we care about is what is after the = sign: bEyrhdBIyD8


From here it is pretty fast and easy. Just type [.youtube]bEyrhdBIyD8[./youtube]

For my example I had to add a period in front of youtube and /youtube Those should not be there. Also I placed what I want you to see in Bold, Do Not type yours in bold, it must match exactly to work. Make sure there are no extra spaces and that you got everything in there and it should look like this

Yea I knew the tags, but I did the whole URL and never could figure out why it was just a white box. And now I know.

BTW, in the new forum software you hit the video button in your post and paste the whole URL to the video....or wrap it w/ video tags
