I notice some of you still muck around with the old way of cutting and pasting just the youtube tag and then using bbcode/youtube button to add the vid to a post..

Like this:
(youtube)FGm17tW7Lss(/youtube)

For a while now, there is no need to do that, please simply just post the whole url, no bbcode, no youtube button to press, just past the whole lot into a post:

IE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGm17tW7Lss

No need to do anything but paste the whole link into your post, hit enter after so it turns into a link then Hit reply and the site does the rest.. Its alot quicker, easier and better on the sites end as there is less conversion to do everytime time someone reads a post... It also means the share button wont work as I can't pull out info or add any info when entered using the old way.... I have removed the little youtube button from the message box aswell... For now the old way still works but I will be removing it in a few weeks though... Please get used to pasting just the whole URL!!

Thanks...
