RE: Why won't my youtube links work?

It's why I rarely bother with the menu, that and I'm not always using the desktop site. It's not a major issue, you just need to highlight the prefill and paste over it. Typing the code manually can be a bit of a pain, particularly on a mobile and especially on a bus or whatever, but you know what you're going to get.
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.'

It's a conspiracy.

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

You've got it, that's the one! Thanks for looking into this folks. I spotted the "https://" earlier when you asked me to display the code but I assumed it was just some sort of artefact that didn't embed in the actual address line.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
