So how do you put up your tube vids now? in non geek talk
Or I could just do what I use to do and just paste up the link and wait for the magic mod fairy to fix it.

When your posting, hit the [tube] tab at the top right of the posting box, add the whole youtube link in between the brackets [tube]HERE[/tube]

and youll be sweet

It doesn't work, however, if you jumped to your youtube clip from another youtube clip. If the have the word 'related' in your URL then the [/tube] function won't work.

Yep wont work.
I'll have to see Trev.

It works

Ive put an extra w in this link so you can see what goes in between the links (extra W to show the code as it would appear in your reply)

and the embedded object below (with the extra W removed)

But here's an example of one that won't work, because I linked to it from a previous youtube search. Note the 'related' at the end of the URL.

Just for Gra, here's the real clip.

Didnt' work on the preview, I'll try submitting it and see what happens.

Nope!

[tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nyGVluhCfo&feature=player_detailpage[/tube]

[goanywhere]

Ok Kraley, how did you do that! In fine detail now.

And no, it didn't help, just got me more frustrated!

Every thing after, and including, the ampersand needs to be removed, so you are left with this to put into the tube brackets;

Ok, now let's try:



Yeeeehaaa! Now I like you again.

Now why did it take everyone a squillion posts and lots of teasing to get that simple instruction?
