WTF?!?!?!I feel like a tard since I try to post up videos and all I get is scrambled junk when I use the youtube function!!! This is the only forum I seem to be having issues with so what am I doing wrong??
Below I used the youtube function and inserted a youtube addy between the two things that come up....

First bracket and last bracket off:

From Youtube: You need to copy the <embed> text string. Currently there is a button that says <embed> which is right below the video view counter. Click that and then copy the text.
6555
On the forum: Paste the string that you copied and then click the Tube button or make your own youtube wraps.

Joe:
It would appear your method works. But that seem to be the long way. There is a much easier, shorter means of doing it:
YOUTUBE]dQw4w9WgXcQ[/YOUTUBE
Where "dQw4w9WgXcQ" is the video ID found in the URL string. (The first and last brackets have been left off.)
In the case of the specific video Vultite used, the ID is "vE_WqdKbTvY". So just wrap that in the YOUTUBE brackets and voila!:pepper:
vE_WqdKbTvY
