    Okay guys, I've just enabled functionality for YouTube videos in posts.

    All you need to do in order to embed a YouTube video is to copy/paste the video code that you can find in YouTube urls, such as IX8KJcjHgS8 from the url http://youtube.com/watch?v=IX8KJcjHgS8

    So take that and paste it between the [youtube] tag.

    So you get [youtub]IX8KJcjHgS8[/youtub]

    Notice I removed the Es so you can actually see the thing. :D

    Code tags are your friends :D

    I saw this in the Irvine video thread but it didn't load the video for minutes. Looks nice, although the disclaimer is just stating the obvious and so I think it's redundant.

    Will it be possible in vB to just copy/paste links like on old forum?

    The code is still great though, good job!

    I think the general opinion on that feature was quite negative since you couldn't post a direct link to the comments for example. You could click the video to go to the site but not everyone figured that out.

    I think the new [youtube] tag is great and should stay (without the disclaimer - although if I want to watch the Irvine video now, it doesn't show it anymore).

    dude... I got rid of the disclaimer, chillax. :D

    No more disclaimer, and it should load plenty quickly right now. You just saw it while I was editing the tag code. :D
