If I delete everything between the square brackets, except "xQxThJHJclU" then your line works (and it's the same as mine)

Sorry Omah yep you use just the video IDENTIFIER rather than the whole URL. Still ridiculously simple though


{yt} Identifier {/yt}

but using square brackets

Thank you both for your kind assistance. One little confusion, the start and finish close boxes. One poster has {} brackets and the other [], do both work?

Must be square brackets as stated

All codes like this, which are known as BB Code use square brackets. They are a quick useful way to do things.

For example if you put text in-between these markers it puts the text in bold

{b} text{/b}

Others

{I} text {/i} = italics

{u} text {/u} = underlines text

{IMG} Image URL {/IMG} = inserts the image in the URL
