I'm creating this thread because a lot of people seem to have problems with posting YouTube videos on the forums, and many unnecessary topics are created asking how to do so.
What most people do wrong, is put the whole link to the video between the tags, like this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=TggX5jf4pTQ
Fail. The only thing you have to put between and is the ID of the video, i.e. the part of the link after watch?v= . So, a proper way to embed a YouTube video in a post would look like this:

And here's the result:

I hope this thread will prevent you from asking questions that have been answered about 20 times on the forums already.
