For any of you who don't know already the General Nonsense forums have a feature where you can embed your YouTube videos right into your post. This saves a ton of time/trouble because users don't have to click your link to open a new window/tab.

Note to administrators and moderators: It would be much appreciated if this thread was stickied so more of our members can have the opportunity to learn and use our YouTube tag functions.

I will use this video to demonstrate how to embed a video.

Since there already has been a discussion on how to use YT BBcode, and its feedback, this thread will be closed. However, it will be stuck in the Online Videos forum to serve as a guide, in appreciation of the effort put into it.

Comments and Feedback can be provided in the original discussion thread here (http://generalnonsense.net/showthread.php?t=117).
