Copy the video ID embed code to notepad. Then take just the video code from the embed code (shown in red below). Click on the YouTube icon, then paste that code in between the two youtube code brackets.
Here is the embed code;
<object style="height: 344px; width: 425px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rLnN-hqgfxY"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rLnN-hqgfxY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></object>

Here are the YouTube brackets {YOUTUBE}put code here{/YOUTUBE}
These brackets are curly brackets, the actual YouTube brackets are [y--] [/y---]

Very clear............I posted videos before on this forum before but i guess it just takes a little while to work. I just post the URL in with my text and that works.

Thanks Gaget!

I actually edited the post and embedded only the video code for you.

Since it is your post, you can click on edit to see the code as I put it in for reference.
