HOW TO: Embed videos on TGC

[Voodoo]

Currently, the only supported video sharing website is YouTube. To embed a YouTube video in a post, use the following simple procedure:

1. Obtain your video ID
   
   Your video ID is an 11-digit alphanumeric (combination of numbers 0-9, uppercase, and lowercase letters) string following the question mark in the video page URL (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ9d5i31grY&feature=related)
   
   
2. Position the editing cursor where you would like the video to be inserted into your post
   
   
3. Click the YouTube button at the top of the advanced message editor (must click "Go Advanced" for replies)
   
   ---> <---
   
   
4. Paste your video ID in between the [YOUTUBE] tags that appear

The resulting code will look something like this:

... and you will have a shiny YouTube video embedded in your post, viewable directly from the TGC website! Nifty!


Changelog
