Maybe UT should add a YouTube button with a popup explanation on the of how to use it on the "Quick Reply" toolbar cuz obviously some of our members aren't reading Jim's post:

Thanks for posting that. Does that work for other video-hosting services? (What would you put in the [youtube] boxes?)

I haven't set up any other vid services because there hasn't been demand, but if you demand one I will surely set it up.

Every now and then people ask.
They get an answer.
This isn't a YouTube showcase.

MTV
MTV2
VH1

i think what would be usefull would be a little youtube icon like the quote balloon, insert pic, url buttons....like this:

LJ · 12-07-2007, 05:03 PM

that would put the {youtube] [/youtube} tags around your code for you, is all.

maybe that would lead to over-youtubing though. does it impact the cellar servers when we link and watch youtube vid, or is it all on the you tube servers?

Undertoad · 12-07-2007, 05:32 PM

Oh man, the embed code for those sites seems to all suck.

Undertoad · 12-07-2007, 05:33 PM

The Cellar takes no hit at all for embedded videos. It's just another post.

LJ · 12-07-2007, 05:56 PM

does vb let you put little buttons like that one i made into the reply boxes?

Undertoad · 12-07-2007, 05:58 PM

Not easily!

But you're not using YouTube's embed codes:

Your using tags.

The tags translate to embed codes.
