Something to do with the no editing posts after 5 minutes change?

I dropped the s from https:// and worked fine.

Not sure why youtube would require an encrypted link?

The forum software does not seem to like the "s" as noted by Marty.

Not sure why, or if there is a fix, but will take a look.

To avoid the issue, just remove the https://  or http:// altogether, and just leave the URL as starting with "www" eg www.youtube.com/watch?v=123456


Shoot me a PM to fix any you have posted.

Good pickup on the "s". Now why are my youtube links encrypted?

Must check my account settings in youtube.

Thanks.

Looks like You Tube has rolled out the encryption from Feb 2011.

I had similar issues a couple of weeks ago and thought it was my stupid tablet.
Now I know why.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,
