Since the existing code only likes the http://www.youtube.com/v/ YouTube format and most people either use the embed code or the link code presented by YouTube in the clips, I made a little mod to the format post page. Watch the wrap. Around line 839 on functions_format_post.asp

strYouTubeLink = Replace(Trim(Mid(strMessage, lngStartPos, lngEndPos-lngStartPos)), "watch?v=", "v/")

If the user uses the "/watch?v=" format, its replaced with the "v/" format instead.

So far it seems to work. You can post the link in the "http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxx" format, the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx" format or just the clip number and it will work either way.

If anyone sees an error in my logic, let me know.

Excellent job.

Bruce, I hope that this gets added to the next release. I had an awful time trying to train users on how to use the Tube BBCode.

Sorry to sound all Noobish.

That line of code you have is that to be put in place of something or just in and around line 839? Will it allow the poster to past a youtube link and it will display as a utube video instead of the link.

Thank you and I appreciate you allowing people to use your code. Your knowledge and hard work is greatly appreciated

How does this think work?

I added that code on post # 1, but I didnt see the youtube video. All I see is the hyperlink.
