New Feature: Embed videos into your posts

[Josh]

You can now easily embed Google and Youtube videos into your posts on this site.

In the advanced message editor, you will notice two new buttons for attaching videos. Click on one of these buttons where you want to insert the video and then place the title of the video in between the tags.

Example:

Take the IDs from the videos and use them:

Google:
http://video.google.nl/videoplay?doc...xxxxxxxx

Would become: [googlevideo!]xxxxxxxx[/googlevideo!]

YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/?v=xxxxxxxx

Would become: [youtube!]xxxxxxxx[/youtube!]

Please note that I had to add a "!" exclamation point to the tags in order to keep it from linking to these fake titles.

Post here if you have any problems.

If I want to post a youtube video with the addrees of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW9oYzMhiF4
Am I supposed to go advanced, click the new youtube button
on the top right causing this.....
[...][/....]
....to pop up.
and put the above address in between the bracketed pop up?
If yes it doesn't work for me, if not what am I doing wrong?:tired::tongueani:tired:

OK.....found out what was wrong- the owner of the video does not allow embedding.
It works for everything else I've tried!
