Look like the window dimensions (in pixels) that you want to display Kenny. Not sure if this is a new feature with the board update - haven't dug into it TBH.

If you get the embed code on youtube, making sure you check the "use old embed code" checkbox you'll get something like this:

Code: Select all

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UffIQIgKMVc?version=3&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UffIQIgKMVc?version=3&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
So you just take the width and height values from there (560,315 in this case) and use the movie url inside the [ flash][ /flash] tags. You need to get the entire URL from the embed code too, not just the URL you see in the address bar i.e. http://www.youtube.com/v/UffIQIgKMVc?version=3&hl=en_GB

I'll make a sticky with that info in it.

I have cunningly just added a new youtube BBCode feature.
Give it a try, you should see it on the full editor :)

My fastest lap from a recent motorbike trip to Almeria in southern Spain. Still a good 5 seconds or so slower than the proper fast guys, but wasnt the rolling road block i used to be

For my un-trained eye, that looks like a decent lap. Looks difficult to spot the apexes. Nice and twisty track.
