If you go on the page of the video you want to post, then look at the box on the right of it, it should say URL and Embed below it. Copy the one that says URL into the code:
[youtube] [/youtube]

So if I wanted to psot this video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=l-DWX8NgiYs& ... ed&search=
I'd post this code:

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=l-DWX8NgiYs[/youtube]

because the address I just posted between [youtube] and [/youtube] is the one they gave me for URL.

Does that make sense? :D
