I've tried a 100 x and it never shows up in my post. Is it something about the old embed code v the new? Do I need to switch this? How do I do that? What's going on? I'm npoticing others are not able to post vids either.

Here are your brackets [ute]address/v/numbersandletters[/utb] But look up at the Body: to see how you write out the brackets and youtube. Remember, no spaces between brackets and address.
Here is a no code address line> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58RSC7HO9aU
Here is a modded address line for here> https://www.youtube.com/v/58RSC7HO9aU and note the changes made.
Here is a coded address line that pops up here> [utube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58RSC7HO9aU[utube]
Here is a [/]< forward slash missing so you can see the codes written out.
Here is a / forward slash. Cut and paste that line, add the forward slash so it shows in the post.
Here is a youtube mix of the same artist>

Here is a single vid out of that mix>
https://www.youtube.com/v/_ZbWTg8G6eM
Here is another address line if you draw a blank space in the post>

Here are empty brackets hugging that address line>

Rook it showed up in the mail notification of your post. I didn't see it in your post(re go pro mount on Hayabusa) but clicked on the link at the bottom of the notification mail. So it is linking it somehow just not showing on the forum.

[utube]https://www.youtube.com/v/_ZbWTg8G6eM[utube] I added the _ after the forward slash to see if that brings up the vid? I did eliminate the forward slash so you see the underline added

Here is a single vid out of that mix>
https://www.youtube.com/v/_ZbWTg8G6eM
Here is another address line if you draw a blank space in the post>
https://www.youtube.com/v/ZbWTg8G6eM
Here are empty brackets hugging that address line>

Note the first time I eliminated the _ underscore line from the coding.
Note the next time I re-added the _ to correct the coding and display the vid.
Note how I read my coding and figured out how many typed figures I needed to remove or replace to set the coding to work.

Here is a ripped address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxSsol3Zd7k&index=12&list=RDUQerGi6nYIA
Here is a single vid out of that playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxSsol3Zd7k
Here is a coded address without brackets:
https://www.youtube.com/v/FxSsol3Zd7k
Here is the code address with brackets and no forward slash so you see the whole imbedded line:
[utube]https://www.youtube.com/v/FxSsol3Zd7k[utube]
Here is the imbedded code line with the forward slash turning the coding hot.

Step 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWAFzPoShRw [shortened]
Step 2: https://www.youtube.com/v/XWAFzPoShRw
Step 3: 'Write My Code' goes something like this.
a. I stab Ctrl + U =
b. I then write in 'tube' inside my brackets.
c. I arrow key the courser back to the middle of the brackets.
d. I stab Ctrl + V = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWAFzPoShRw&list=RDUQerGi6nYIA&index=20&spfreload=1.
e. I left arrow key the courser all the way back to the left side of &.
f. I hold down the delete key and it ends at w.
g. I then left arrow key to the right side of the forward slash / and stop when the v kisses the slash.
h. I move the courser to the right of the v and add a forward slash.
i. I hold down the delete key and wipe out 'watch? and the =.
j. Note: I deliberately left that other post with the blank vid, because I want to study my coding. So here is an equal sign as was the underscore line needed? Again, that coding remove may be a symbol for code writing. I will soon find out if I needed that equal sign or not. So that says I may have to add that = sign as was the Purdie vid did not take without that _ for the coding needed next to the right of the v.
k. press the reply key.

= was NOT Needed as was the case. So, Rook it's the simple coding somewhere. How can I tell?
1. You made the box layout but no joy.
2. That means there is one symbol missing usually.
3. One misspelled code not matching the other bracket.
4. Can't be missing a forward slash or your address line would show with the brackets.
5. Has too many or too little address letters... Just some of the coding mistakes to look for.

I found this and I'm going to add a forward slash w/brackets. Rook, see how you missed the forward slash? I'm going to assume this is what you were trying to load up. So like I said, some piece of code is missing to make it work and here is a vB and not a v/B kind of missing forward slash.

how about this one for instance? here is all of the code I copied from Youtube.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vBALGypsufI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
What I used to do was copy the part inside the "" marks
//www.youtube.com/embed/vBALGypsufI
and put it in the [yutube] [/yutube] tags the o symbol is left out so the tags will be visible in this post.

Here are a few code pieces missing... The http: and the / between vB, and the v is missing. Romes has it right. The parentheses and not the brackets show that address line ready to post.
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBALGypsufI ~ I went to the top of the address bar, c&p the line.
2. https://www.youtube.com/v/BALGypsufI ~ I remove watch? and = so I am now missing my brackets.
3. I hold Ctrl down, press U and type in the shorter utube so all I have to do is write tube.
4. Here is the finished product:
