how do you embed videos off youtube or somthing that provides a html?

Wait, i dont understand.
To embed YouTube you take the last part of the URL, and put in in between [.youtube] and [./youtube] (without periods)

You can't use HTML because it presents a huge security risk to any forums

Basically, what Nick means, is you put youtube tags around the part of the url after the '=' sign to a youtube video. For example, if you wanted to embed this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-c94VVU7zc

then you would use this:


q-c94VVU7zc


Resulting in this:

q-c94VVU7zc

Just wanted to add a small note to this, a lot of times when your watching something, you'll click on the related videos and the URL at the top of the screen will be something like this youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A&feature=related (I took out the http://www. part because it would shorten the URL if I didn't, this way you can see what I'm talking about.)

Now if you want to embed this there are 2 things you can do, either go the the URL/Embed bar they have under the description and copy the URL from there

OR

Take the URL from the top of the screen and take out the "&feature=related" and you have the original URL for the video.

There are two ways to embed: the one you are thinking of, and the one that you get from the YouTube website. On a specific video's page there is a long HTML code that you can get from under the description of the video. The problem is, we do not allow HTML, so you will have to use the YouTube code tags explained above.
