ya forgot a important step here...
after you paste the code, you must highlight it (ctrl+a works nicely) and THEN click the youtube icon..
alternately, you can hit the "youtube" icon first and paste the code between the brackets
the key being all code must be wrapped..
the blue "html" links wont appear unless you fail to use the tags right the first time.. if you edit the post to insert the youtube tags, the hyperlinks will need fixed..

Why is this better than simply listing the link like this for example?
- Bush Shoe thrown - 2 shoes thrown at President Bush during press conference in Iraq[/url]

Yes I saw that but for some reason they are pasting with parts of it hyperlinked or whatever its called and it dont work right unless you unlink them. It will come out white.
I wish I could have made mine that good though
if you are pasting and doing nothing, then there should be no hyperlinks parsed.. if you post or edit the code then the hyper links are parsed and that is where the repair comes in..Yes I saw that but for some reason they are pasting with parts of it hyperlinked or whatever its called and it dont work right unless you unlink them.

if you get the code right the first time it should not need fixed.. VBB automatically parses anything that says http
you can also uncheck the box at the bottom of the posting screen that does this
Automatically parse links unchecked..
Mine was doing that when I tried to embed them from my Yahoo browser. Post them from Mozilla and it usually works.
Now that I know this trick it should work from both (hopefully). Thank you.
