New maast bulletin board feature - embedded youtube videos

[tony]

thanks to your friendly admin staff we now have the ability to embed youtube videos so they can be watched directly from maast

like this:

YouTube Video

to do this, simply go to the youtube video that you want to post, in my case it was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zql2t8uC4M

then create a vbb tag for the video by copying/pasting the code for the video in the youtube tag like this:

{youtube}2zql2t8uC4M{/youtube}

replace the {} with []

you ONLY need to put the characters after the = sign or it wont work

sometimes you might see a link that looks like this so that youtube can give credit to the referring site

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zql2t8uC4M&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmaast.org%2Fforums%2Fnewthread. php%3Fdo%3Dpostthread%26f%3D11&feature=player_embe dded

once again, you ONLY need to put the few characters after the = sign. i bolded them in this instance so you will see what i mean

you can also click the video and it will open a new window with the full youtube page of the video

this should also work with the blog feature as well so you can post videos of your tank within your blog

Testing!
This is a video of my tank when I had really bad green hair and red algae.
It has cleared up by 50% already!

Let's see... I hope it works!!
