Hi everyone,
All of us love to share youtube videos with each other, but all this while due to security reasons we have not allowed you to embed youtube videos directly into our forum. But guess what - now you can do it!
Here's the famous video by Susan Boyle in Britains got Talent:
4BvBkTmDWBA
So, how do you actually embed a youtube video? First of all, when you go to any of the youtube videos, the URL of the page should look something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BvBkTmDWBA
But when it comes to embedding the video in the forum, what you have to do is to copy the last bit of the URL, and in this case it would be 4BvBkTmDWBA. Then, insert the video using this easy code:
4BvBkTmDWBAYou should then see the video appear in your post when you publish it. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead to one of our forum threads (like this one (http://recom.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6528)) and embed the video right away! :)

Edit (May 10, 2010) by vseehua: Functionality is also extended to videos from vimeo.com. See post #7 for more details.
