Greetings. I was hoping someone could explain how to post YT vids on the forums. I have copied that url of vids and pasted it between the [youtube]
>*<[/youtube] but it wont show. I have copied the " old embed code " and pasted and still nothing. Am I able to post YT vids ? If so, could you please let this NooB know HOW ? Thanks.

What you do is <youtube> (replace <> by [ . ]) and take the last part of the link.
For example:
The video above is linked as:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mEkVBOKx6Y
You remove:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
You keep: 0mEkVBOKx6Y
IMG code will be <youtube>0mEkVBOKx6Y</youtube> (again, replace <> by [ . ])

I don't understand why people do that because you will just open it in a new tab anyway. Who actually stays on the forum page until the video is done playing?

Or, one could use the code tags to put the actual code instead of making people substitute <'s to ['s...
Yields...
