The site just doesn't "display" the video anymore.

Just the link.

Worked for me. I notice you have some extra "url" crap. I just typed in the *bracket* video=youtube]....(paste the https)......[/video *end bracket*.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

This is some odd shit, both the links work from here but not from my post. Satan's work I'll warrant.

Select "View Source" in both yours and mine. You got a couple of extra characters (//).

You didn't buy the right insurance. Read the fine print. You have to have a purple squirrel eating a hippo on your lawn while playing bagpipes.

Thanks for looking into this but this has happened before and I'm sure it was a browser thing.

Yep, what ever you're doing it's sticking in an extra *https://* at the end on the youtube url

The video tag dropdown menu, from where you select the hosting site, automatically prefills the field with https://. You have to overwrite or delete that first, before you paste in the video url.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yup. Hosed a couple of links myself, that way. Having written a few miles of code in my checkered past, I managed to find it...eventually.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
