When posting, there is now a "youtube" button along with the others. It works like this:

It works like this:

Go on the youtube vid you want to embed in t'forum, and copy the page url from your browser:

Excellent! Let's just try this out then....

Hmm, can#'t seem to get it to work, I think it might just be that the video for Cliff Richards' Wired for Sound has had embedding disabled...

Hmm. Bollocks. You're right. It didn't work when I tried initialy unless you used the embed link, but now it only seems to work if you just post the full page url out the top of your browser.

Ach, I'll have to adjust my little red arrows.

Edit: Better!

If it's anything like a certain blue hued forum, the embed code doesn't like the youtu.be URL (which some vids get when you ask for the embed code)
