Hi there guys.

I want you to help me out on something.
Like 90% of the time when I post YT links I put them in this
(YOUTUBE)-link-(/YOUTUBE)

And replace the ( and ) with [ and ]

And almost every single time it doesn't work and I get a bunch of crap instead of the video.
So, what are supposed to be the exact things in the link if this was the link?


I'll try it again and it will most likely fail again.

~ How to Embed a Youtube Video ~


Check out the URL of the Youtube video you want to use.

The last part of the url after "v=" (outlined with red box) is called the "Youtube ID". This is the part that you will need to use to embed your video in your posts.

You must be registered for see images

Copy and paste the Youtube ID into the YOUTUBE tags on NB.

You must be registered for see images

Or you can directly use the BB code for it:

► Submit your post or thread and your video should appear like this:

">► Submit your post or thread and your video should appear like this:

" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always">
