YouTube, Google Video, TinyPic Video & Vimeo

[Neo]

Beginning today members will be able to embed YouTube, Google Video, TinyPic & Vimeo videos into their forum posts. To do this create a new post, click the "Insert Special Item" dropdown menu in the editor, and then select YouTube, Google Video, or TinyPic Video. Instructions will be on the following screen but you need only paste the video ID into the box. The video ID is everything past the v= in the address bar in your browser when viewing a YouTube or TinyPic video, the number (clip ID) in the URL for a Vimeo video and everything past the docId= in the address bar in your browser when viewing a Google Video.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here!

This is because you only need to post the video ID from YouTube which in this case is:

You posted the entire URL which we do not allow and is stated in the instructions.

I fixed the post you made to correctly display the YouTube video.
