I don't see any video post enablers and the BB code for youtube doesn't work... yet I see youtube videos being posted? Can I get a how-to?

Reply to this post, you'll see the "v=" address in "u2b" brackets that shows up as the actual video. (I don't think this works on a phone, youtube uses mobile address for those vids that don't seem to apply.)

This forum auto-embeds YouTube videos. All you need to do is paste a regular YouTube url into your post. Not a shortened or mobile version of the url, just the plain old one that shows up in a desktop browser.

Embeding with the [u2b][/ u2b] tags, with the video number (the number after 'watch?v=') should still work though.

It does, as that is how I've posted many videos. Although glad you shared this, will definitely save time
