When someone makes a new thread or post with a link to there youtube video, I would like a mod that changes the link to an inserted video

I'm getting a bit fed up with people putting links on my forum when they should just insert the video.

Looks good but has bugs with 4.0.3 and has not been updated since January.

You can create a custom BBCode to embed a YouTube style when used.
AdminCP >> Custom BB Codes >> Manager >> Create new BBCode

Title: YouTube
BBCode Tag Name: youtube
HTML Replacement:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Example: JFwCCL0Vh6U
Description: Embed YouTube videos with this. To embed a video, take the video parameter (JFwCCL0Vh6U) and put it inside youtube tags.

oh, yes I understand.

I already have this but nobody uses it, they just put the youtube link in the post and I have to go in and change it to an inserted video.
If I had a mod that did this automatically I could forget about it.

A mod as big as AME will always have bugs considering the amount of cusomization vB allows, but it is one of the highest rated mods out there- most people use it without problems, only complaints really get posted, hundreds of people without issues usually don't post. I see there is a relatively simple bug fix for 4.0.3 posted, I'm fairly sure you'd not have a problem if you tried it- I use the 3.8 version and it's amazing.
