Youtube BBCode... Anyway to enact a YoutubeHD one?

On a VBulletin forum I have, there are two BBCodes for Youtube videos, "[youtube]" and "[youtubehd]".

"Youtube" gives a small/regular video appearance size in the forum, while "Youtubehd" gives a much larger appearance.

I'm wondering if there's a way that can be done here? In a user friendly simple fashion without the poster needing to type in loads of HTML etc?


CSS
I can force all youtube appearences to be larger with the CSS:-

Code:

.postbody iframe[src*="www.youtube.com"] {
   width: 977px;
   height: 550px;
}


...but it would be nice to offer posters the choice of small or large video appearance.


One work around?
If I use the CSS hack above with a further one for EMBED:-

Code:

.postbody iframe[src*="www.youtube.com"] {
   width: 977px;
   height: 550px;
}
.link_embed iframe[src*="www.youtube.com"] {
   width: 500px;
   height: 281px;
}

...then I guess we could post a large appearance youtube with

Code:

[youtube]xyz12345678[/youtube]

and a smaller appearance one with

Code:

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyz12345678[/embed]

?


Anyone have anything clever that might come to the rescue?

Hello,

Your request sounds more than an suggestion, because VBulletin and Forumotion are different platforms...

In any case, your suggestion could take years or months to release, you can read this topic for more info: https://help.forumotion.com/t93899-how-to-make-a-good-suggestion

Thanks... And suggestion done - https://help.forumotion.com/t163559-offer-a-new-bbcode-for-youtubehd-to-display-a-youtube-video-in-a-bigger-window#1149437

As this is now made in to a suggestion i will just close this and not use it as a solved topic.
