asked
I have a thread that is about six pages long on one of my sites. It allows people to post youtube videos. But for some reason the videos are just coming up blank whenever you post them now.
THey used to work fine.
Youtube code is enabled
Take a look for yourself.

You can see on the first few pages the videos show just fine, but on the last page videos don't show. What's the problem?

Is that a standart bbcode?
Paste the code of bad messages if yes (somewhere).

The same has happened on my site. Old bb code doesnt work with the u-tube URL.
This seems to work, but members dont understand.
(below is a post from my site)
This is a u-tube embed code
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
You need to copy and paste this part only
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Now you have this part only : /v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1 (after .com and before the & )
Highlight the part and click the u-tube bb code below
It should now look like this : [you tube]v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1[/youtube]
Now click the post button,,
[youtube]v/9o9nqy3mGO8?fs=1[/youtube]
You should have this

I still think this bbcode is too hard for the non-developer user. It should accept the whole URL. its not hard to just do a string search and find the stuff between the v= or v/
answered
I still think this BBcode is useless. A link to a youtube movie would be way better (think about what embedding all those movies does to load times).
However, yes, we can optimise it. I'd even propose allowing full URLs, I mean, we can easily match the right part ourselves.
