1) Ok first of all the first thing you need to do is go and start a topic or reply to a topic.

2) Look for a button that looks like a circle with a bunch of white stripes on it

3) Click on it and this should come up: http://

4) To switch the size switch the http:// from 200,200 to
like 400,400 like this: http://.

5) Go onto http://www.youtube.com and search up a video

6) Look for the embeding code under the name of the youtube video poster(Note: Some people don't want you to take there embeding code so they will block is, if they do it should look like this: Embed code disabled or something like that)

7) Post the embeding code like this: http://EMBED CODE HERE

8) If you followed those steps you should be able to watch the video from your website.

The auto embed mod is installed on all SMF for Free forums so there is no need to use the Flash Icon in the editor  ;)

When at Youtube all you need is the url that is in your browsers address bar

Post that in a post

the video will be in the post   (not as a link.. it will be the video)

For instance all you would have to put in the post is this:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

This has been mentioned here many many times but ya probably didnt see it  ;)
