How to -correctly- link Youtube videos! -
06-20-2007
Alright, i think i've quoted too many people who use the youtube tags incorrectly, linking to a white youtube video, that obviously, doesn't work. So here is the CORRECT way to link a youtube video.
You essentially, just copy what you have after the "V=" in the url, and place it inside the Youtube tags, which are [y t] and [/y t], without the spaces.
Say you have the link: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Your Youtube, so that it would appear as a video on the site, will be: [y t]123test321[/y t] Without the spaces
Another example of an actual video: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Would be: [y t]6e19e9vg0Fs[/y t] Without spaces
Which when used without the spaces, comes up as:

You do NOT just post the link in the youtube tags: [y t]http://youtube.com/watch?v=6e19e9vg0Fs[/y t]
This will show up as a white page

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Edit:
Occasionally you will get a link with a lot of stuff in the link as well, just an example: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
For this, you want to coppy what comes AFTER the "v=" but BEFORE the "&" symbol in the link.

Hopefully this helps people when posting their youtube videos, so that it doesn't just post a blank youtube video
If you still have questions, or don't understand fully, i can clear things up for you.
[The class I play] is imbalanced and broken, [The class that counters my class] should be nerfed because it's too OP, but [The class I counter] is fine and just needs to L2P.
