Just a follow up on some techy difficulties with youtube videos,

you tube have changed the way the publish their videos slightly and we have also upgraded our forum software which results in a few errors when trying to post youtube videos, ie: instead of the video appearing a lot of code appears on the screen instead. To rectify this without disabling all the older videos which are still working away fine we have introduced a NEW EASIER method of linking Youtube videos:

Heres what you do.

type [utube]
then past in the web address of your utube video (NOT the embed code) eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8tTb9WYbUI
then type [/utube]
make sure its all in the same line of text though, example below:

[utube:3mf3u7qt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8tTb9WYbUI[/utube:3mf3u7qt]
[code][utube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8tTb9WYbUI[/utube][/code:3mf3u7qt]
