You can use

Code Select Expand


[html]
Here the code of the flash from youtube.
[/html]


or use the [flash] tags and insert the url like:

Code Select Expand


[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/83Deo3i4alI[/flash]

this method lets me (as an administrator) embed the youtube videos but when my regular members try it, it strips out the opening and closing html tags when they preview or post it. anyone know how to fix this so that my regular members can embed youtube videos using the html tags?

We at our forum now use flash like the example:

Code Select Expand

[flash=400,320]http://www.youtube.com/v/dbuUiyc_3jY[/flash]

http://www.youtube.com/v/dbuUiyc_3jY [nofollow]

ok.
that works.
but when you hit the flash button it pops up at default size 200X200  do you know what file i need to modify to change that?

there is also the Youtube BBC tag mod if you don't want to switch on flash due to security reasons:
