You need to use the youtube tags. For example, if I wanted to post this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2W_3uXqsfw) of the Redwall TV series intro I'd copy the URL of the video and put in in youtube tags, like this:
[youtube]_2W_3uXqsfw[/youtube]

The result will look like this:

You don't need to use the code tags. Just make sure you have Youtube tags on either side of the link.

Also, I think it may be a good idea for you to move to the Cellars to practice posting Youtube videos in a topic like this one. (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=1477.msg48939#msg48939)

Or you can use Tinypic if you don't want to sign up. That's what I do.
