Having Trouble putting You Tube on the post

[Bluerose]

I see a lot of people manage to put You Tube screens on posts but I somehow am having trouble. How do you properly put the You Tube screen on the forum? This is what I did so far but I don't think I did it right

example
[youtube]I Love Lucy- Men are Messy[/youtube]

If You don't see anything below where it said example, can anyone tell me how it's done?

replace * with /

It's like using PhotoBucket to post pics. Click on the YouTube tag at the far right of the reply box tool bar, paste in the last part URL (after the "=") which you can find to the right of the video. In other words if the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FaOkX408mI you only want the part I have in red.

and then click the tag again to close it.

So [*youtube]4FaOkX408mI[/youtube] without the * should give you this.

Close. Leave out the "http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=" and you'll have it.
