SnoWest now allows you to embed a You Tube video directly into your thread post.

There are TWO WAYS to do this.
METHOD #1.

1st.
Go directly to your youtube video on the YouTube site.

2nd.
Click on the SHARE link.

============================================

METHOD #2.

1st.
You will need to use the advanced WYSIWYG editor option in your USER-CP.

2nd.
When creating a new post, on the far right of the editor screen you will see a YouTube button

3rd.
When you click on this button it will generate some text like this.
[ YOUTUBE ] [ /YOUTUBE ]

4th.
You will need to insert the MOVIE CODE of the YouTube video inbetween the two phrases


Example.
The URL of the movie you want to display is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKn9kOtVgEg

The MOVIE CODE = MKn9kOtVgEg

So your text string would look something like this

[ YOUTUBE ] MKn9kOtVgEg [ /YOUTUBE ]
(note: I have added extra spaces so it will NOT display the video here)


When done correctly the final result will be this

Nope..... was a piece of cake.

Should make it easier to find where to change the settings in user CP tho.
Go to forum options,
then scroll most of the way down to where is says "Message Editor Interface"
Change that, and you're off to the races!!! :)

it says: the video is blocked in your country by SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT due to reasons of copyright.
(My translation, so may not be completely correct...)


Well that sucks. I can sing it into the computer screen for you...if that will help.

they must have identified the soundtrack used on it and tagged it for blocking.
What a huge pain in the butt.
