Hi Donnyaz,

I did a quick test, and this seems to work:

Copy to clipboard
{img type="src" src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/gyfWqRLjXKY/1.jpg" thumb="box" link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gyfWqRLjXKY"}


which produces:

Image

I got the thumbnail by doing a fast search on how to find Youtube video thumnails; maybe you have a better image or can make a screenshot and reduce it for the video's thumbnail. Also I didn't see how to specify the video's dimensions, so its popup expands nearly to the size of the screen. I hope that's ok, or else more tinkering will have to be done.

By the way, the image and search form in the infobox on the right side of the page at your site have some pixel widths (240px). This is causing a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page as these items extend off the screen to the right. I'm not sure where these widths come from, but if possible, they should be removed. The image will fit the available space.
