Everytime I try to watch a video that has [YT*][/YT] wrapped around it I can't see it. Anyone else have this issue?

You need to put that bit in bold within the YT /YT tags

Why can't you see it?


Random black screen?
random peach(ish) coloured screen?
BB code's HTML substitute doesn't show up?
Embedding disabled by request notice?

That exact screen happens/occurs when incorrect code is entered AND when the video is loading the YT template etc. Sometimes clicking it (if it's clickable for you) jogs it into life.

Does the vid fenny posted above work? It works fine for me.

Unfortunately this appears to be a clientside issue, not serverside. Here's another idea though, does embedded youtube vids work on other sites for you? This is probably further than you need/can-be-bothered to go, but if you make your own HTML document with just the embed code inside it & open the document with a browser, does that work?

I've had this problem for a while so, usually I just quote the post and I copy the link from there

Just to make sure if you what to embed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK2tWVj6lXw

You only put the EK2tWVj6lXw inside the tags. So it comes out as:
HTML Code:
[YT]EK2tWVj6lXw[/YT]
EDIT: My bad, I misread and thought you couldn't embed them.

Look at your post, there's no bold text, I had no idea what you were talking about so I offered my own explanation.
