I have been noticing alot of new users are just posting links from youtube. If you have noticed that there is a youtube button on the the tool bar that usually ends with and when you post it. It doesn't show your video. That is because you take a certain half of the link instead of the whole one. But I would like to direct you guys to Jordan's post on Youtube videos
From Jordan's post:

You can now YouTube videos directly into your post! Simply grab the video ID from the web address of the video in your browser (highlighted in red here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U013CuDO5M), and insert that between [youtube] tags, like [youtube]6U013CuDO5M[/media]. Here's an example below:


I have also added buttons to the WYSIWYG editor icons to make things even easier. Also, before someone asks, yes I tried for an hour to get Google Video's embedded player to work, but it's method of identifying the video makes it far too complicated to work in this particular application. Maybe they will change things soon so this can become a reality in the future. Nevertheless, it should make it even easier to share videos with each other in the Car Videos & Photos forum, as well as in the Drifting forums when you all want to show off your latest driving styles. Enjoy!

Oh i fail :L still getting used to these forums and i just seen the premium bit and without reading what it said inside i just automatically thought you were my mistake.
 
Its ok though looking back at GT4, the moderator Swift made a thread aswell.

For all of you using youtube for your vids, that's fine. But GTP has a feature to integrate the youtube movies into the actual forum.

Check it out here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80226&highlight=Youtube

Basically all you have to do is that the youtube number and put in it tags like this.

[YOUTUBE ] ########[ /YOUTUBE]
JUST THE YOUTUBE NUMBER! NOT THE ENTIRE LINK

(this is NOT my video :sly: )

And it'll be right there for everyone to see. Try to use that in the future. Thanks.

May i also suggest that you change the thread title or people might get the wrong idea and think that this is where they are supposed to post there YouTube videos.

Edit: Much better :P
