The correct tagging is [ youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T55t_vitBh0[ /youtube].

I actually had to quote someone elses video when I posted before to find that out... don't know why I didn't think of that last time I posted a vid :mrgreen:

Nice videos waz.

edit: just had to fix again... full url from youtube website not embed url.

Close, but no cigar. You need to exclude the ampersand and everything after that, i.e.

Code: Select all

Ok now that one needs the [youtu] code, but I have no idea why there's two codes.
(also needed the =1 removed from the url)

Okay, to post an embedded YouTube url there are two options.

1. You can take the FIRST part of the URL, copied and pasted from the address bar of your browser. For instance,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T55t_vitBh0

DO NOT include any ampersands ("&" symbols) or anything that comes after them, e.g. "&feature=player_embedded", "&feature=related" etc.

Take this first part of the URL and put it in the [youtube][/youtube] tags, like this:

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T55t_vitBh0[/youtube]

OR

2. You can take the youtu.be URL from below the video, e.g.
http://youtu.be/T55t_vitBh0

(You can get this by clicking "share" below the video). Then put it inside the [youtu][/youtu] tags, like this:

Code: Select all

[youtu]http://youtu.be/T55t_vitBh0[/youtu]

And you should get your video.
