Youtube Embed

Post by HumanSpeedbumpAK »

Ive tried multiple times to get the Youtube videos I've made to embed in the thread using the [YouTube][/YouTube] tags but no matter what URL i use I cant seem to get it to work properly. I think the video images would make the posts a little less bland while I work on getting images up.

At the top of each of the two articles i have on the front page there is a link to a youtube video. Ive made one video for each of the 5 episodes i've written for the story. if you can make them work id love you forever, just edit my posts.

Unfortunately the YouTube tag is a little picky about how it looks. This is basically because it has a very strict filtering rule to ensure it's actually processing a youtube link (and not someone trying to inject malicious code). I can share the actual tag processing code if you'd like... I added it :-P
