    Every time I try, the site automatically inserts url brackets into my code, making the embed impossible.

    It's a bit of a pain..

    You have to go to the "go advanced option". The second checkbox says "Automatically parse links in text" uncheck that box and the video should embed correctly :slight_smile:

    You can take the part of the URL that's after the equal sign and put it in the youtube thingies
    [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE]

    So for example, if the URL was "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ-VT50SgUo"
    I would want to take the "DZ-VT50SgUo" and put it in the middle of the youtube things such as ["YOUTUBE]DZ-VT50SgUo[/YOUTUBE"] (without the red quotation marks inside the brackets)

    [YOUTUBE]DZ-VT50SgUo[/YOUTUBE]
