At least if I just copy the link Youtube provides when you click "Share" (or whatever it's called in English). It's proving troublesome in my case, at least. Any chance of slight update of the software you're using, or any advice for me when it comes to Youtube?

If it still has the "embed" section in it, you have to take that out, and format it to how it shows you if you scroll over the youtube button while creating a post.

Linking YT's never been a problem for me.

The above link is what I get if I copy the Youtube share link. Wouldn't it be a lot easier if the boards accommodated this newfangled way of copying and pasting? Is there any other easy way of copying the necessary information from Youtube I'm not realizing? Obviously embedding is not an issue in my case.


Edit: Oh shit, I just realized I'm better off just copying the url in my address bar than doing what Youtube tells me to. Sorry, guys, I think I'll be ok from now on. -_-'

Yes, looks like YT have changed the URL structure. If you use the URL from the address bar on YouTube (instead of the shared link) inside a set of [ youtube] tags, everything should still work ok e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxx (I'll look at updating the link structure on BEA as soon as I can).
