Currently, UserPostedImage for adding a YouTube video, but is it possible to add a YouTube button rather than clicking a button then selecting it via drop down menu? I'd like to add several things such as Marquee, Spoiler, Strikethrough, etc as one click buttons if possible.

But you can use ckeditor for that, you can modify it over the js config files.

I haven't had a chance to check out the source code because I'm not able to get a site running off my local machine.

The YAF Standard YafBBCode Editor is great! It's quick, has most commonly used codes. I think users would benefit if individual buttons were added for several of the codes, rather than having them listed under the UserPostedImage button. I find myself reminding users they can embed album pics and youtube videos quite often.

For what it's worth, I think adding YouTube, Vimeo, Album, Spoiler individual buttons to the standard list would be fantastic. :)
