I don't know what happened. I deleted everything, copied the video URL, and use the [ video][ /video] tags and it shows up in the preview, but it's not posting after the submit button.. :(

I have forwarded this to Craig to investigate (When he has time).

EDIT: Craig is currently working on this. Stay tuned.

The problem has been resolved... sort of.

One of the scripts that blocked hack attempts corrupted some of the embedded video links so that they don't work correctly.

There is a temporary workaround, which is to edit the post, make some sort of change (Even just adding a space) to the post and to save it. I'm not sure why this step is necessary, but until I find how to automate the process, this can be done on your own posts if the video isn't working correctly.

In the meantime, if you find any posts where the video isn't working properly, just contact me or any of the moderators, and we should be able to fix it right up.

Thanks!
Craig
