The long awaited secret will now be revealed:
When you are posting to the site, you can add a link to allow youtube videos to be embedded into the site. The basic theory is as follows:
1> Find Youtube you want to add. The URL will look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4
Sometimes the URLs are not so pretty:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA ... w5KpACPsEc
But they all share one thing in common, and that is somewhere in the URL is : v=kffacxfA7G4
The only information needed to post video is are the digits after the "v=" (and before the & if it exists).
So, we need the "kffacxfA7G4"
2> Now that you have the video id, click on the button at the far right on the toolbar labeled "youtube":
This will appear

Code: Select all
place the Id inside the tags: [youtube][/youtube]Code: Select all
and it will work. placing anything other than the ID within the youtube tags will NOT Work! No URLs, no nothing, just the ID.[youtube]kffacxfA7G4[/youtube]
