Embedding Videos (How To)

[Brianemone]

Here is how to embed videos.

Currently you can embed videos from Youtube or Gametrailers.com
I will be adding a youtube button similair to the GT button that you will see when you are writing a new thread.

You need to enter the number of the video, this is found in the URL for the page. For example a Youtube url is http://youtube.com/watch?v=74mTbios-LU so what you do is copy everything after the = (in this case 74mTbios-LU)
You then tag it with the forums BBC code which for YouTube is [.youtube.]youtubenumber[/youtube.] (without the full stops in there)

Gametrailers is very similair, you copy the number at the end of the video url (but not the .html) and then tag it with the Gametrailers BBC code which is [.gt.]gametrailersnumberhere[/gt.] (again without the fullstops)

Any questions just ask.
