[dietz4ibanez]

This is a sticky that I created for those who want to embed their Youtube videos in threads and posts...

I will try to make it simple as possible..

Basically what you want to do is take these letter after the equal sign... I will try and highlight these in red:

Yep, know all about vb.org. Thats why I think vb is the best forum software out there because of the mods.

Indeed, it's been the defacto standard for many years.
You wanna sit tight on v3.8.x vB however.

4.0.X is kinda wild with good features (blog, CMPS, gallery very nice, etc), but it ain't Jelsoft anymore and upgrade was a PITA in some respects to say the least.

Mind you, it's cuz maybe we didn't understand some of the functionality yet, and it wasn't fully documented, but you can read for yourself on vBulletin the heartache some users went through.

I am on a forum that uses auto embedding... I think its the Duramaxforum.com and dieselbombers.com

Yea, I am not updating to 4.0 on any of my forums for a good while.
