How do you get the you-tube video link inside the reviews or forums again? Not the link but the actual clip itself.

I'm showing a bunch of people how cool this site is and trying to get them to participate as well since they now want to use this site too.

Tis not hard ...

Find a youtube clip that you like and then find out what the URL link is - such as ...

http:// www. youtube.com /watch?v=yo0Qpgi-zpM (spaces added)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo0Qpgi-zpM

If ya just post it straight into a review, a YOUTUBE image box appears ... but if you put brackets [ ] around it, then everything changes - such as...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo0Qpgi-zpM

The problem with YouTube clips is that they do get deleted and changed .. so they are not 100% reliable. One thing that we try to be aware of is .... how stable are the posted links.... OH SURE they work right now, but will they still be around in a year to two. So try to post outside links that you are certain are stable and will be around in a few years.

LOL. Thanks man.

It had to be H2O didn't it? LOL. You have a dangerous sense of humor Jan-Chan. I'm craking up here.

I want to cry now that I've fixed up my notes page. It's just so beautiful... (LOL)

You can also do [youtube:yo0Qpgi-z­pM] and <youtube>yo0Qpgi-z­pM</youtube>, just to give you entirely too many ways to do it. =p
