Embed YouTube and Google Video into your posts

[Reverend]

We now have BB code in place to use for embedding videos from YouTube and Goolge Video in your posts.

The tag for YouTube is [yt] [/yt]

The Tag for Google Videos is [gv] [/gv]

You only need to paste the video id number between the tags not the whole url.

For example:

To embed a YouTube video with this url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT71CGHipv0 you only need to paste this part OUjnUpbLsqM between the yt tags.

Similarly for a Google video with this url: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...14610239347011 you only need to paste this part 2079414610239347011 between the gv tags.

Using the 2 examples above when correctly entered will look like this:

Is this gonna slow down post loading for our broadband impaired *cough fastgame cough* members?

No it shouldn't have any major effect on load times, but like image hosting, its all dependent on the current performance of their servers.

There's things like The Proxomitron (localhost proxy) and numerous script-stopping plugins for browsers & while the default theme may not be the best looking thing in the world, it does the job; Proxomitron support forum (Grypen); best filters for Proxomitron here or here; also stops ads and other garbage, works with any browser ..

The page then might look like this (+1) :
