It can be done in two ways. It's easy =) If you look below the video info on youtube videos, you see an embed link, unless it's "Disabled by Request". Just click it, copy it and paste it into the forum. It will get automaticly converted into the right coding, which leads us to the next way:

You can just copy the letters and numbers after the ?v= in the url

And type it into something like this:

hi canis, thanks man! i,ll go back and take a look?

hi canis, do i press on that little blue button beside the embed code????

You can if you wanna change the way the embed-window looks, but I don't know if that function is supported by this forum. Just press the text where it says "<object width="425" bla bla bla" and copy paste it right into your post =)

hi canis, o.k. i,ll try again....thanks!!

hi canis, i did like you said and i copied and pasted it, is it normal to see after you pasted the embed that there is alot of script?? you like about 4 or 5 rows of letters and numbers?

Perfectly normal ^^ It will get converted as soon as you post it (I hope)

Use the preview button before you submit your post to be sure it is right.

Hm, didn't looks like it worked... Try the other way: In the url of the video, copy the letters and numbers after the "watch?v=" part, into a

CODE

[youtube] letters and numbers here [/youtube]

That should do the trick =)
