You Tube links

Monkeybonkers · 2010-05-21 23:05:32

How do I post a You Tube video so that the window appears and not just the link? I've tried copying the link in to my thread and then highlighting it and pressing the You Tube button. This appears to wrap it in You Tube tags but it is still coming up as the link only with loads of other crap around it. Any help appreciated.

All Youtube urls look something like this [noparse]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s[/noparse]

To post a link to that video, remove everything up to and including the = sign, and put the tags around IhJQp-q1Y1s only.
