BB Code Enhancements - YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!)

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:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}</a></object>

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.

Hm, I just tried that on my forum and it worked just fine. If you see [youtubehd]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtubehd] in the post, that means you did something wrong setting up the BBCodes. Make sure you didn't misspell youtubehd. Take a screenshot of your admin area if you're still having troubles.

Thank you for your help Fangs, I reinserted the information just to doublecheck, and I still get the same error. It shows up fine in the admin panel, but not in posts. I have images here for you to look at. (I took them while at work, so youtube is blocked period, but on my home station, youtube regular & HQ works in posts, but not youtube HD).
Thanks again for your help.

Hm, I'm really not sure why it's working for you in the admin panel and not working in posts. Does it work fine on your BB Code FAQ page? Make sure you have those last 3 options checked (disable smilies, word-wrapping, etc).

Hey Fangs, I checked those last three options. It does work in my BB Code FAQ, but it still doesnt show up in posts. I've gone through everything I can think of and I can't quite figure it out. I appreciate any additional help you can provide. Thank you.

Gosh, I'm all out of ideas. The only thing I can think of is that there's something weird going on with your theme that's breaking it, but I don't have the foggiest idea what it could be. Does it work if you use the stock default vB3 theme?

Really nice mod. Nice one.
