The nexus not hotlinking youtube properly?

[Thor.]

Hello everyone, i have a problem with youtube videos not hotlinking properly, just simply dropping it in the textbox doesn't seem to work at all.

 

random youtube video, just for demo

In the forums use

 

{media}http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUN0knX47tM{/media}

 

but in the mod pages use

 

{youtube}nUN0knX47tM{/youtube}

 

That's the ID of the video after ?v= . And substitute [ and ] for those { and }.

As I said, you have to substitute those { } for the correct [ ] like so:

I have to put quote marks " around the brackets, else the forum software will process it as code, so IGNORE the quote marks.
