    I still don't get it, i feel somewhat stupid.
    These are the 'tags' you use. [youtube]INSERT ID HERE[/youtube]

    In between these tags (where it says ID HERE), you copy and paste the ID found after "v=" in a URL. In your sig, you have - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usnznJZ0XvA so you take the ID - usnznJZ0XvA and put it so it's like [youtube]usnznJZ0XvA[/youtube]

    Which gives you:

    It's fairly easy for admins to make up BBCode to do whatever they want as BBCode works by replacing your BBCode with HTML after you've submitted your post. So for instance:


    [b]Text here[/b]
    becomes:
    <b>Text here</b>

    [img]Image link[/img]
    becomes:
    <img src="Image link" />

    and [youtube]Youtube Video ID[/youtube]
    becomes:
    <object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Youtube Video ID&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x 006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></object>

    Is it possible to embed videos from other videos sites, not just Youtube? For example myvid1.com
