    Hello. While veterans are familiar with the youtube tag, we have gotten a lot of questions over the years: "How do I use the youtube tag?"

    Part of this is because of the wording "Please enter the option for your [YT] tag:"

    If it was changed to "Please enter the Title of the Video in the Text Box In This Window. When you hit 'ok' you will enter the address of the youtube video, starting after the equal sign."

    Just a thought, and my wording could probably be better.

    But the wording in the popup is... not good!

    Yeah, they need to fix that. I can never remember and have to work with it every time to get it to work.

    If I can do it, anybody should be able to do it.

    Its not a question of whether or not the youtube tag is functional.

    The question is, do we want it to be better documented, and thus easier to use.

    All veterans here know how to use it. This is for new people.

    You... do want this place to thrive, right?

    Hello?

    This is perhaps one of the easiest suggestions ever posted here to implement.

    I think it's a good idea, as I myself find the Youtube tag a bit confusing. But I'm kinda working some board latency issues ATM, so gimme a bit . . .
