In the Praise forum there is a thread titled "Let's Worship In Song" with YouTube videos linked directly into the thread (not a link that takes you actually to YouTube).

On the text editing tools when you're composing a post, right at the very end is a Youtube button. Alternatively you can write youtube tags like so...

But the URL to the video between those tags, and PRESTO...

I usually just select the video id.....It's usually after "v=".

once I select it, I hit the youtube button and then hit ctrl+v, pasting it into place.

make sure there are no spaces between the youtube code for the particular video you want to post and the youtube wrap (there are wrap buttons on the advanced post screen: http://bibleforums.org/forum/images/buttons/youtube.png) : [Utube]jY4pn7f1JRQ[Utube] (I substituted "U" for "you", so you could see the coding better), otherwise you get this, a youtube box without the video:
