[Tutorial] How to post a YouTube video
If you guys haven't noticed already, the [YOUTUBE] tags have been removed from MPGH for some unknown reason (probably to make it easier to post videos) but there is an easy workaround for this. To post a YouTube video simply copy and paste the link and it will be automatically parsed when you hit Submit. Note that it will not appear in Preview Mode before you have created the thread!

When you have posted the video, you can edit the text above the video to your liking (using the edit button of course). But of course, you can do this before you've submitted the thread.

Example:
(Note that I put a space before the url tag for the sake of this example)

Before titled edited:
[ url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM]‪Charlie bit my finger - again !‬‏ - YouTube[/url]

After titled edited:
[ url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM]Hur hur hur, look at me![/url]

Final Result:

That tutorial doesn't work anymore. Dave said that once VBulletin 4 is launched in a couple of days it will be explained automatically in BBCode help (or some craps like that).
