Lots of people have tried embedding a video by putting the entire URL between the brackets, and later saying the link is not working and providing the entire URL.
The correct way to link a video is only putting between the youtube brackets the characters AFTER the = (equal) sign (only put the characters in bold)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[b]lrpHvCYKAPE[/b]
To see this in action, press "Quote" on my post and look at what is written between the brackets. (RIGHT BELOW THIS LINE-----)
Hope I've helped some people! And maybe relieved some of the weight off the DEVs and MODs shoulders, because I've seen lots of posts with youtube video "attempts" (hehe) and then getting fixed by the R-MODs or R-DEVs.
Enjoy!

Re: How to put Youtube Videos in your thread/post
I had the same problem until a dev edited my post and i checked it to see what he had done.
this should help the devs not have to go around editing everyones post who dont know how to embed vids properly![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
