beforewisdom Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 VBBAF ( this board ) has one of the most current versions of the phpBB web board software. Many other sites use versions over 5 years old. As a result, one of the cool features we enjoy is the ability to embed youtube videos in our posts. By "embed" I mean having a picture of the video with controls to watch it......versus just a URL. You can accomplish this by putting youtube tags on both ends of your youtube URLs: [youtube]your_url_to_the_youtube_video[/youtube] However sometimes that doesn't work. Instead of getting the youtube player embedded in the post you get something like this: The way around this is to delete the ampersand ( the '&' symbol ) and everything in the URL after it. Instead of this: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7875_rv1s&feature=related[/youtube] Remove this or any part of the URL that starts with a '&' &feature=related Writing just this [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7875_rv1s[/youtube] To get this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
