To post a youtube video:

Copy over the address:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIKb3ViRoOI

Take everything after the =
jIKb3ViRoOI

Then click the YouTube button which will put [ yt] tags around it.
[ yt]jIKb3ViRoOI[ /yt]

Click 'Post Message'.

Note: This does not work in 'Preview', so don't be thinking you've done it wrong, you haven't!

**EDIT**

Proboards has now added this as a standard feature. Take the whole URL or just the stuff after the = sign. It will work either way.

There is the youtube button which works the same as the last one. It will put youtube tags around your highlighted link or code.

Happy youtubing!

INFORMATION:

Proboards have added the Youtube button as standard, there is a reason for this.

Proboards, as those of you on internet explorer will know, have a huge contract with googleads.


We get, easy youtube video uploading, proboards get WADS of money every time we post another video.

There is still, as it has been for some time now, no way I can get rid of the advert along side the youtube video. There was a huge uproar across the entire proboards support forums over this as many people suffered the same problems we have suffered, it stretches out the board!

What I would ideally like is a code to shrink the advert or place the advert underneath the posted video. Simple right? Nope. 90% of forum adminstrators would like to see the same thing.

Still simple right? Nope. Moving/blocking/resizing this advert is a breach of the Proboards Terms of Service and that equals instant forum deletion, no ifs or buts and no return.

So... post a vid, cop the ad. We've put up with it for a while now, it's inconvenient, it's ugly, it's staying!

There is an alternative. Not one i'll put in public. Anyone being driven beyond crazy by all this, please feel free to PM me and i'll send a couple of links, very simple and easy to use ones, that will solve a few internet advertising problems.
