Not a fan of the youtube plugin. Like all things social media they embed trackers.
No, I hadn't but I have tried now and that still didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion tho, CS.

I could amend the bbcode to allow for two variables - one being start time and the other being video name so that you would enter something like (I've removed the brackets):

youtube=start time]video name[/youtube

but it would be a required parameter for all.

It's probably easier to not use the embed tags and just use the normal youtube link with &start=xx at the end of it.
Thanks Russ. Don't expect you to make the change as I doubt it would be used much, but was just wondering if I was doing something wrong to get it to work. Looks like there's nothing I can do with the current arrangements.

Cheers
