You'll most likely have noticed that most youtube , mp3 and soundcloud embedded content has been screwed up, this is due to a different BB code structure on the new system.

Its much easier now, although you will need to update any of your posts that include youtube, MP3 or soundcloud clips, as the previous [youtube] [mp3] and [flash] tags no longer work.

To embed any of the following

  • YouTube videos
  • MP3s
  • SoundCloud Clips
  • MySpace Video
  • Flickr Image Sets
  • Google Videos

You will use the 1 single tag [media]

The format for these is as follows:

YouTube (Use the full URL)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PAJqgeeJf4[/media]

MP3's (Use the full URL)
[media]http://somesite.com/path/to/file.mp3[/media]

SoundCloud (Use the tracks page, not your home page - not the SWF path)
[media]http://soundcloud.com/smashbang/sets/ehsan-gelsi-im-you[/media]

Actually, after a bit of testing, you can actually just post the link into your post and the forum will automatically detect it and wrap it in media tags. Pretty cool
