[youtube] tags not working

[Neil Peart]

Whenever I use them, the video appears in my post, but it doesn't ever play - is anyone else having this issue?

you put everything after watch?v= between the tags

for example Y47G2B-r-Sk




edit: *goes to cry in a corner*

In a typical Youtube URL, the bolded part is what you want to use as your input for the youtube tags (i.e. it's going to be everything past the = in the URL.) So in the end, your code will look like this without the asterick's:

[youtube*]4F-ZpkFf0_0[/youtube*]

Take away the asterick's and voila! You've got yourself a Youtube video.

Anytime, friend!

To put links on top of a picture like the one in my signature it requires you to do some CSS. For help to properly utilize CSS you can check out the resource guide right here, which can teach you everything you need to know to do that! Or, if that seems like a big headache to you in trying to wrap your head around everything being thrown at you, I can teach you sometime how to properly do it. Once you learn the basic steps in CSS, there's no limit in what you can create!
