    I think you can only embed youtube videos.

    See the BB code listing for details.

    Hi Joe, if you mean by embedding youtube videos I can help.
    First, get the video's URL. (example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVEp3Dh-K0U)
    Then extract the text concerning the video (anything between the = sign and the & sign)
    That should leave me with this: UVEp3Dh-K0U
    Lastly, add the BBCode. [y o u t u b e] [/y o u t u b e] (No spaces) (Insert Text between)


    The result is this:

    Hope that helps.
     
  4. Awesome, thank you so much Reaper!
