Youtube video embedding enabled

I've added a new feature to allow video embedding into threads / posts
first off this experimental and may be removed if its abused or causes issues
this is not an invitation to link every video on youtube and embed it onto the site
its meant to be used to help supplement posts and reply's and allow people to do video diary's
and should only be used if the video is relevant to the subject in hand
but if this feature is abused or causes the staff extra work moderating this I will restrict its use
so play nice :thank you:

to embed a video first go to youtube (it only works with youtube so don't try any other source)
find the url of the video you want to embed into your post / thread
copy the code after the = like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCQTr8ZYdhg

paste the QCQTr8ZYdhg into your post / thread highlight that code and only that
then click the
youtube.gif

and your done, your post will contain a warning about external links you need to click
for the video to play, this disclaimer is to cover our ass as we are not responsible for external links
but as its youtube only we can be pretty sure its vetted and safe to view

however be aware when you post a video or a link that its on a canna site
the person that owns the video may not want it to be embedded on a canna site
though if its on you tube its pretty much fair game to be posted anywhere on the net

also if you are posting personal video's remember your security issues
we don't control youtube so we can't protect your user info if you post personal video's
that can be traced back to your personal youtube account
example in point, a guy I know on a bike forum posted a video of him doing wheelies as 100+ mph
cops tracked his youtube account and did him for speeding and dangerous driving
so post only if your willing to have it up for all to see, you have been warned

OP

enjoy some floyd :tiphat:

Everyone should take note you can screw up a thread if you accidentally embed wrong so double check!

OP


His link just takes you back to the top of this post. Do this hammerhead;

Find this image when you are posting.

You have to click the "go advanced" button to get the youtube icon to show up.

Click it and it will do this YOUTUBEIF /YOUTUBEIF

I took out the brackets..these things..[] so you could see it. Where youtubeif is, at the end of that word you will see this bracket ] then the next bracket you see will be this bracket [ Go to your youtube link and find the link you want to post, it will look like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbmxoVO7z4

now take the part that is past the equal sign, UJbmxoVO7z4 and put it between the brackets like this ]UJbmxoVO7z4[ and what you end up with is this UJbmxoVO7z4 between the two youtube words and you get this:

youtubeif]UJbmxoVO7z4[/youtubeif note..I took off the leading and trailing brackets so you can see what I am talking about.

[YOUTUBEIF]UJbmxoVO7z4[/YOUTUBEIF]

It confused me at first, but I understand it now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCQTr8ZYdhg

You need to take *ONLY* the part in bold above out of the original youtube link.

You need to do it like this:

(youtubeif)QCQTr8ZYdhg(/youtubeif)

Now just substitute '[' and ']' for '(' and ')' and you're ready to go.

You can use noparse tags to show other tags.

If you quote this reply you can see the magic going on behind the scenes.

Hmm. Not sure dude. When I quote your post, it works in the preview, but not once posted. That's totally weird.

you guys have it, some browsers need to reload after you click the I agree link.
But as far as i can tell you guys have the technique correct.
