I added a modification today that allows a user to embed and watch a youtube video in their posts. It works with all of the themes.
To use this theme, you need to first find the youtube video that you want to embed, and then do the following:
Example:
1.) Find a Youtube video that you want to embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmMpXNfSsCk
Copy the link.
2.) Click on the YouTube icon: (http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/Themes/Darkster/images/bbc/youtube.gif)
3.) Paste the link you originally copied in step 1 and paste it between [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ].
So, in this case, the finished code looks like this:
Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmMpXNfSsCk
You could also just use this (i.e. the final part with the video ID), but it doesn't matter either way:
tmMpXNfSsCk
4.) This is what the output should look like:
tmMpXNfSsCk

Embedded Youtube Videos additional information.
Continue to follow Dan's instructions above then:-
When posting some videos you need to remove the "s" from the address:- http(s)://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8fmJhDOrv4, for it to display on AMIT forum pages.
If not you will receive this message:-
