Hi all, I just installed a new hack that will allow us to put YouTube videos directly into your posts!

For example, lets say the YouTube video you want to put in your post can be found at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WofFb_eOxxA

What you then would do, is to take the the text: WofFb_eOxxA from the end of the YouTube URL, and put it in between the following BB Code: [youtube][youtube] ,but make sure the last [youtube] has a \ in front of the word youtube.

So I present you, Gizmo the toilet flushing cat as an example!

One note for everyone, if it's a bigger video, or there is a slow download, when you hit play, the video may stop and go stop and go as it continues to download the file. If it keeps doing that after you hit play, hit pause and let the video download for a while. You will see a red progress bar on the bottom of the video that will tell you the download progress.
