You can now embed youtube videos by wrapping them in [ yt ] tags.

I should have mentioned, you just copy the youtube code from the URL:

ie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq6p1fb9fQc

You copy the part after v=, so it becomes [ yt ]yq6p1fb9fQc[ /yt ]

No spaces in the yt tag, just did that for illustration.

Here ya go, nightingale. You're using the wrong tags. You just need yt in the brackets and you should also use the entire URL, from the www. to the part you used.

Although, surprisingly, it did work that way; with the tag fixed..but I don't think it's supposed to.

The first tag should be the yt surrounded by the brackets with the last one the same but with a forward slash / before the y...


Thanks for this feature..I would have used it for the dragin; boat vid had I seen it. :)

I could make it so you need the whole URL, it is one way or another.. I guess whole URL makes more sense to folks?

it works

Post by Dale O Sea » 05-16-2011 06:55 PM

Yeah, I didn't see the other thread and gave bad advice..then when I tried to fix it had problems editing it - hung when I sent it.

I guess it's that I'm used to using the complete URL for images, sites, emails..it seemed weird to me..I guess that's how the script was written. I can cope, hah. But if it worked both ways it would be ideal. :cool:

These were screwed up actually in IE. I think I have fixed it now... let me know if it still doesn't work for you.

Tried to embed - wouldn't go. Lots of back and forth. I though Bill was going to pop a gasket for a few moments. Very entertaining.

Raw: O'Reilly vs. Stewart Over Common Controversy

Other than this being a video I tried to embed, there's no other reason to post it here - aside from the entertainment factor.
