Help! How do you post a YouTube webpage?

[rotornut]

I've been trying to post a YouTube webpage on the Prune without success. I followed the procedure but only the URL came up and not the actual webpage.

To post a YouTube video use the following tags:

*YOUTUBE**/YOUTUBE*

(replacing * with [ and ] as appropriate).

Within those tags, you put the video id ... which is the bit after the "v=" in the URL.

For example, for

Code:

youtube.com/watch?v=Q6AKVMtj5Kc

the ID would be Q6AKVMtj5Kc and hence your tags would read

*YOUTUBE*Q6AKVMtj5Kc*/YOUTUBE*

Or just click on the you tube icon (right hand end) and paste the No. in the middle.

It's a shame the Vbulletin s/w can't do what one of my other forums does, which is take the whole URL and interpret it properly, embedding the video as expected. Someone didn't think about the process too well there.

Aaah... it's Mike-Bragwell....

No doubt when they get round to upgrading somewhere nearer the latest version, the features may appear !
