****Please note that you no longer have to do this as simply putting the Youtube URL will work****
If you are trying to post a link to a Youtube video then you can now embed this in your post.
To do this you need to find the URL of the video you wish you use. You need to then use the Youtube tags as below and put everything AFTER the
www.youtube.com.
Here is an example:
Code: Select all
[youtube]/watch?v=U-zjnVmuTzs&p=9AFD90276E1D45A7&playnext=1&index=17[/youtube]
Will give you this terrific Satriani video:
[youtube]/watch?v=U-zjnVmuTzs&p=9AFD90276E1D45A7&playnext=1&index=17[/youtube]
Check it out!

Yep sure:
So in your example above you take this part of the link you have posted:
/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ
and place this in between the Youtube tags like this:
Code: Select all
[youtube]/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ[/youtube]
Which then gives you this:
[youtube]/watch?v=9cbdNOYR1AQ[/youtube]

I think my problem is I don't know where the "youtube tags" are
where are they
are they on the forum
sorry about this, but I think posting the video is what I want to do, not just the link

and after the link close it by doing this

Remove the
http://www.YouTube.com and leave everything after it and do not have spaces in the closing tags
It will then work
