I thought PRangerX would like this as a nice early Christmas present from Santa Claus but I actually found a way to add a bbcode that will allow users to embed youtube videos into our posts now.

You need to type it out like this

-fnzKmjPzks [ /yt] but without the spaces.

It should show up like this [yt]-fnzKmjPzks

[MattEmily]

The full youtube video URL for that clip is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fnzKmjPzks but all you need is that comes after the watch?v= part so I thought it was a better code compared to a lot of those ones out there.

Now I need to test to see if it will work on Chrome and Firefox since it's working on IE 11.

[MattEmily]

those are successful tests.

Cool so now we upload YouTube videos here directly?

Sweet maybe I can post some of my VR Troopers Battle Grid segments in the YouTube thread.

[PRangerX]

Thanks Matt. This is really neat. Merry Christmas! We have come a long way fron Ezboard.

[MattEmily]

that's correct, Zabitan.

I thought it was pretty cool too, PRangerX especially considering you don't need to use the full URL for it which pretty much won me over as soon as I saw the code... and you're welcome.

Indeed we have came a long way since ezboard. We wouldn't be able to go this nuts on ezboard or yuku with codes and add-ons or plug-ins.

Zandor the saurian overlord of Planet ZX12-1000 bless us everyone.

Seriously though yeah I wasn't there for EZBoard but I was there for the Yuku Board.

oops not sure if I understood that correctly. The video itself needs to be uploaded to youtube but you can embed any of the youtube vids into any of the posts. I don't believe it makes any difference on whether the video itself is privately listed or not as long as you have the video ID for it but yes you'd be able to embed your Battle Grid vids into however many posts you please in the YouTube thread.

[Zabitan]

That's cool.

I have them in my Fan Edit thread for now but I'll move them if you want.

[MattEmily]

indeed it is cool and you can keep them wherever you want to keep them at.
