THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS HERE TOO...
Embedding youtube vids here is pretty easy, but a little weird.

In a youtube URL, there is a number sequence or code. Here is an example

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[B]s1L4BH4ygW8[/B] (I Bolded the code so you would see it... it is the code after the (=) you are looking for).

Push the white and red youtube button (second last button) on the top of the bar on the message page. you will get this [YOU-TUBE][/YOU-TUBE]... minus the - marks (added them so the message would show).

Put the code in between the




On some strings, the code is a little buried (like when the link is copied from a vid you have chosen off the featured vids page for instance. Lets say you are have a http string like this >

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWKbNIY2uqM&feature=related[/url]

The Code is not everything after the (=) in this case. You have to pull just the code as I bolded in the sting above.

[YOU-TUBE]s1L4BH4ygW8[/YOU-TUBE]<<So like this without the (-) marks.



I use the preview button to make sure everything is working right before I submit the message too. To see how the actual code looks, push the Quote button and look at my message string

Hope this helps out.
