You need to put the video id in the tags, not the full URL. So for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94p8ilpYKf8 you would just put 94p8ilpYKf8 in the tags such as.

Quote my post and look at the code if you're still not sure.

a clever way to do this would be to look at a post some one has already made with a video in it and then quote it so you can see exactly what was typed....but thats just the clever way
