[Multimedia] In-Depth Guide on Posting YouTube Videos on IGG Forum

This is a little trick works in almost PHP board that support the [/flash] BBcode to embed flash item. This guide will teach you how to embed YouTube videos in IGG Forums. Note that I was inspired to make this in-depth guide because I found that the one in the "forum guide" thread is lacking and I decided to make this guide.

There are two methods on how you can embed the videos in IGG forums. The first method is probably the most used method in Freesky forum before its destruction July, 2011. The second method is the one that emanresu000 used in his "forum guide"...

Method 1

Step 1. Acquire the youtube link make sure you get the long version. *note:If you got a longer link refer to notes down the bottom of the page

Step 2. Modify the link so that it will embed using the the [/flash] tag
The link should look like this without modificationNow you have to replace the watch?v= into v/ and add a .swf at the end it should look like this after the modifcationAfter that you have to add the [flash] tag.
so it should look like this.Step 3. Click submit if the video doesn't show up it means that you did something wrong look at the notes at the bottom of this page if you have problems

Method 2
You could also use this alternate method in the forum guide made by emanresu000
Step 1.

Step 2.
Get those chunk of text that looks like this in the embed code:

Step 3.Copy paste that and put it under the [flash] BBcode

Notes:updating*
1. If you get longer links like this using method 1make sure you remove the &feature=player_embedded and go back and do step 2.
2. If you have problems just ask questions in this Thread I'll make sure to answer if I know the answer
3.Adding the .swf at the end is not necessary but put it just to be sure
4.Never use shorten links that looks like this.If your using the share button in Youtube to acquire the link click show option then check the long link in the options

Nice Guide. Very detailed.

Can a mod sticky this? Nah, Maybe that's asking too much
