I can't seem to embed youtube videos into my posts on this forum?

For example if I want to embed this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemXgP-2xyg

I press the youtube tag inserter thingie. and then copy the address between the tags like so.

(youtube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemXgP-2xyg (/youtube) I had to use brackets so it didn't try to embed the video.

But it comes up in the post like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemXgP-2xyg

Thanks

Sorry, it is not obvious, but you just use the "v" string data from the URL. (youtube)aemXgP-2xyg(/youtube)

The trick I use with these questions is just to hit the quote button on posts which have examples of what I need. You can then look at the original post to reverse engineer how to use tags in this forum.
