Ooooooo I've sussed it! The 'tube' button links you to youtube so you can watch youtube videos on the forum, without having to go to youtube itself! No idea why the advert thing is there though...
To use it, click on the 'tube' button, a code like this comes up
Click in between the square brackets, i.e. between ] and [
Go on youtube and find your video
Below the video, there's a thing that says 'share, favourite, playlist, flag' - click on share.
There are then options to 'send video, myspace, facebook, or more share options' - click on 'more share options'
A selection of share options appears. Go on the second box down (where it says' copy and paste this link into an email or instant message') and do as it says...copy and paste it!
Paste the code in between the square brackets that separate
Your code should look like this (minus the spaces) [video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= code that has been copied and pasted from below the video on youtube "][/video]

Did that make any sense at all? (youtube is easier to do than it is to explain how to do!)
Sav, re the 'tube' button, when you click 'reply and you can put all the smileys and stuff in...theres a button (red) on the second line that says 'tube' on it

you need the word youtube in square brakets in front of the code...like this [ y o u t u b e ] code from below video [ / y o u t u b e ] but without all the spaces...
Sorry, my explanation was a bit vague (silly forum wouldn't let me show the code properly)

[youtube ] code that has been copied and pasted from below the video on youtube[/youtube ] there - I had to add a space or two to show it.. kate...think you have the wrong code? the advert is obviously how they make their money providing the free forums so I guess we have to make do...you can opt out of adds but have to pay a fee

I just tried making a guide, like I did a while back for putting photos on YH, but have given up because my computer is being silly and won't keep the pictures in the places I put them! I'll do one though if anyone wants it
