How do you link to a youtube video so that the screen appears in the message? Tried the button above (good idea, that) but alkl that showed up in the message was a white square.

I know, I haven;t run a site search for "youtube", but you can imagine what happened....

You have to only put the video code from the URL into the box, and remove the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" part.

So basically to show this video, you would use [noparse]

you use the tags and get the address (take http://youtube.com/watch?v=BLJ5a6aJOb8 for example). You take the code after the '?v=' (in this case BLJ5a6aJOb8) and place it in the youtube tags
