Embedding Videos in your Posts
Because HTML parsing has been disabled in the Jeep club's vBulletin instance, the only way to embed a video in your posts is to use the [video] bbcode.
How-To use the Video BBCode Tag Method
For example, the video at the URL http://youtu.be/BQCtadEvTgY could be embedded using the following sample code:
[video=youtube;BQCtadEvTgY]http://youtu.be/BQCtadEvTgY[/video]
When you enter the above in a message, it will display as follows.
Important: If you do not put the "=youtube;<ID>" in your tag then you will not get an embedded video but just a link.
Also, vBulletin's video tag has limited support for services besides YouTube. If you want to post a video hosted somewhere else and you cannot get it to work, shoot me a PM with the link and I will look into it for you.
