Youtube Now Embedded!

[jage]

There are two ways to embed YouTube.

First get a YouTube account and upload a video. There will be a place to copy a URL, it looks like this:

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

With the [youtube_id] tag you simply insert the code, iNaRCxeJkZk in this case, between the tags. This allows you to copy only the ID and not worry about the format.

With the [youtube] tag, the format must look like the bold URL above. Simply place the whole URL between the tags and it should be embedded from that.

Also: Please only embed Forum (SMB/Van) related videos- if you want someone to laugh at Bert and Ernie, just use a link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21OH0wlkfbc

I'd prefer also if we only post our own videos- there is tons of stuff on YouTube anyone can find with search or a link, and I don't feel embedding helps anyone. Comments welcome.

I only have two videos at the moment. Hit "Quote" on this message to see how the two types are constructed:

Thank you for all that you do for the forum.

Felt this part deserved to be re-emphasized. There haven't been a ton of off-topic videos embedded, but there have been a fair number. Lets try not to burden the servers with unrelated, embedded videos.

Oops. Just saw this. I'll change my evil ways.

I second larrie's "thanks"... and will be sending in my contribution. I let my dang coin lapse
