I upload them to photobucket, then there's a link for adding them to forums that you copy and post. _________________

It's very easy to do, it just depends on whether the forum's owners want it switched on, i.e. the feature enabled, or not.
Take this as an example:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fDdPuCsOLaQ&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fDdPuCsOLaQ&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
The above just looks like a stream of gobbledegook and gibberish code, right?
Well if the 'Allow HTML' feature was enabled, this would then appear like this:
Link
However, if the forum owners do not want to enable HTML, then all you have to do is find the YouTube or Google video you'd like to post, and then wrap it in something called video tags.
Here's how!
1. Find the YouTube video you'd like to post here.
2. It will give you (taking the above example) a URL link like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDdPuCsOLaQ&feature=player_embedded
3. Now, wrap that URL in the video tags, like this (REMOVING THE ASTERISK!!!) [*video] THE URL OF THE VIDEO YOU WANT TO POST GOES HERE [/video]
4 You now end up with this:
Link
Hope that helps! Any questions, please just ask.
