I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.
Title: YouTube BB Code Tag Name: youtube Replacement:
Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube] Description: Embed a YouTube video. You <b>only</b> put the video ID in between the BB code tags (<b>NOT</b> the full URL!). Embedding <b>must</b> be enabled for the video! Use Option: No Image:
Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:
- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

Having problems with the youtube button image in the post a reply box. It works if I use a url from another site, but can't get it to link from my site (probably doing something wrong).
Also in FireFox it just shows the text and not a button (wrap [youtube] tags around text).
Probably because there's a prob with the image button.
Anyway, help!!!
Can you give me an example of how you're trying to use the command? You aren't putting the entire YouTube link in between the tags, right? As for why the button isn't showing up, it sounds like you have the image path wrong in the BBCode manager.
Also, please hit "Mark as Installed" to let me know that you're actually using it.
I feel a little noob-ish on this, but where do I actually enter that code? I've installed other mods before, but had never had to do one like this, and I'm delving into VB for the first time in earnest as an admin.

You enter it in as a New BBCode in your Custom BBCode Manager.
can someone please explain to me the whole "BORKED" thing?
If you see BORKED, it means that there's something wrong with your setup (your local setup). Maybe you don't have the latest version of flash. Maybe you have a funky Firefox extension installed. It just means something is preventing the flash video from being displayed on your machine.

thanks. that stinks. I dont know what could possibly be the issue. I have the latest flash version, and maybe a few FF plugins, but if I can see it on youtube's site, I dont know what would prevent me from posting it on my forum.

Which FF extensions do you have? Try disabling all of them and then see if it works. Does it work in IE?
