Youtube

Every time I try to embed a You Tube video it shows some dumb video in it place. This should be a WEC fight. If you take out the [YOUTUBE] and just click on the link it goes to the right video. What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm...that certainly is interesting. Wierd.

test - this is supposed to be a Metallica video.

Seems there's some sort of spoof or redirect in effect with the vbulletin code in use. (maybe hacked ??? I don't know)

But the code is being replaced, autonomously.

Here's the code switch:

I wonder if this has anything to do with Sharkey's Spam Alert thread ....

Good work Cig

This has been resolved. To embed a YouTube Video all you need to do is use the [youtube] tags and place the key to the youtube video in between the tags. For example if I wanted to add a video from youtube that had the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnYwuvSwUMo I would just need to add the cnYwuvSwUMo between the [youtube] tag

Got it! Many thanks Mr. Rheinhardt.
