5) In the Help section put 'Use the ID of the Youtube video'.

6) Tick the box where it says 'Display on posting Page' then click on the Submit button



Now all you have to do to post the video in your forum is navigate to the posting screen, you will see a button called 'youtube'

Click the youtube button and put the ID of the video in between the tags for example:
