Embedding YouTube videos
I noticed that some folks are able to embed YouTube videos without a using a link - how?

Re: Embedding YouTube videos
Also, it doesn't work on a browser that doesn't have Flash. It uses an old <embed> tag, and specifies flash as the media type. The HTML5 version is quite a bit simpler and works fine, naturally, on browsers with HTML5 support - and only on those browsers, but maybe by now that's everyone. I think phpBB can be set up that way, I know that's how it works on a MyBB board I put up a couple weeks ago - HTML5 <iframe>. Not it matters a lot to me - given the youtube videos that typically appear here, I think the blank area that appears instead is an improvement.
