For whatever reason, the default YouTube code is not really compatible with the boards and it looks like shit when you post it.


The default YouTube code they give you to cut and paste looks like this:
Code:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/04j5AmG0kfI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/04j5AmG0kfI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

It should be posted like this:
Code:
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/04j5AmG0kfI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>


All you really have to do is cut out the PARAM and OBJECT tags. Please note that the source link used in the code is different from the link in the address bar.

Source code links looks this: http://www.youtube.com/v/04j5AmG0kfI

While address bar links look this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04j5AmG0kfI

I just preview my YouTube posts, and then cut out what doesn't turn into a video. On a side note, one time I cut out too much. That thing looked waaay fucked up.
