    How to -correctly- link Youtube videos!

    Alright, i think i've quoted too many people who use the youtube tags incorrectly, linking to a white youtube video, that obviously, doesn't work. So here is the CORRECT way to link a youtube video.

    You essentially, just copy what you have after the "V=" in the url, and place it inside the Youtube tags, which are [y t] and [/y t], without the spaces.


    Say you have the link:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=123test321


    Your Youtube, so that it would appear as a video on the site, will be:
    [y t]123test321[/y t] Without the spaces

    Another example of an actual video:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=6e19e9vg0Fs

    Would be:
    [y t]6e19e9vg0Fs[/y t] Without spaces

    Which when used without the spaces, comes up as:
    [yt]6e19e9vg0Fs[/yt]



    You do NOT just post the link in the youtube tags:
    [y t]http://youtube.com/watch?v=6e19e9vg0Fs[/y t]

    This will show up as a white page
    [yt]http://youtube.com/watch?v=6e19e9vg0Fs[/yt]


    Edit:
    Occasionally you will get a link with a lot of stuff in the link as well, just an example:
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=6e19e9vg0Fs&randomlet

    For this, you want to coppy what comes AFTER the "v=" but BEFORE the "&" symbol in the link.

    Hopefully this helps people when posting their youtube videos, so that it doesn't just post a blank youtube video

    If you still have questions, or don't understand fully, i can clear things up for you.
