Youtube Tag Won't Work

[ccllnply]

Is there something extra you have to do when using the youtube tag? It never works for me, I always get something like this

[Bokks]

I think you have to cut and paste the whole address thing (www.youtube/anti-santa.com/whatever) ... oh my god, that actually linked... that's not real, I don't think, so don't click on it.
Anyway, you do that between the youtube brackets and it should work. or maybe you do the image one, actually I've never done the youtube tag, I just assume that's what it's be, instead of just the "anti-santa" detail.

you only need the bit after the = sign.For http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4rb8aOzy9t4, just put the '4rb8aOzy9t4' between the tags.[youtube]4rb8aOzy9t4[/youtube]

You could always use quote to see how others did it (There is an added bonus in this post to make the tags visible....)

Thanks lads got it to work

Ha! That's funny, it hyperlinked your fake address too! Wasn't just me, I guess the software assumes anything with .com is a real thing... unless it's just ".com" apparently...:hmmm:

Ah, and I'm glad it's working!

Haha, I edited it now though.. Thought I'd give a 'proper' answer..

[Bokks]

Great, now from your properness I look like an idiot since I'm commenting on something that is no longer there and that I didn't quote at the time... thanks a lot!
Just kidding Ummagumma! And at least the problem has been resolved!
