          youtube tags, you copy the ID from the youtube URL

          like this URL for example

          youtube.com/watch?v=hvBsj2-TidA

          you take the ID, which i have bolded, and past it inbetween the YouTube BBCode tags

          like this

          Code: [Select]
          [YouTube]hvBsj2-TidA[/YouTube]
          and this is the result:
          [youtube:3dv05qdi]hvBsj2-TidA[/youtube:3dv05qdi]

          While we're at it...

          Image tags.

          Take the link of the image and add (Or click the IMG code box)
          Code: [Select]
          [img]blahblahlinkhere[/img]
          It should look like this.

          I am still having log in problem.

          I know you want to say its on my end. But this is the ONLY forum it does this too.
          Firefox 3.6

          Edit: It seems to be a browser problem.
          Firefox doesn't like this forum. Chrome does...

          I'm using the latest version of FireFox too.

          Sounds like it's a problem on your end, especially if Chrome works for you.

          Really?

          Could you provide a screen shot, and tell me exactly what you are doing that causes this error... it sounds very odd...

          Large image will no longer stretch the forum layout

          never saw a problem with it to begin with, but George wanted it fixed. :twisted:

          It does help the flow of the page stay consistent. This usually helps when people post full sized pictures without thumbnail script. I think it was a good idea. :D

          Custom titles now available... took way too long to get that working =P

          Just go to your user control panel to change it.  It would be under the profile area.
