Geeze, what a surprise. Instead of having the maturity to acknowledge that people want to embed videos on this site, dumb ass here posts a lame insult that has nothing to do with the thread. And dumb ass, YouTube isn't a source any more than the Internet is a source. YouTube is a file hosting site specifically for videos. Ridiculing a video because its hosted on YouTube is as asinine as ridiculing the content because the bits were delivered over HTTP. You just look like an ignorant ass when you do shit like that.

You still can. You just have to copy your original post, edit it, and paste in the original text. The code that updates the post doesn't remove the link.
It's just an annoyance.

I haven't been able to get that method to work either. It might vary with browser and script settings.

ok, i think it works now as long as you put in https instead of http for the link, and use the "/watch" format of the url, like this but without the space.

Not quite. The following URL minus the space produced the following post:
https : //www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSLPH9d-jsI

Enough trolling by CIC. You don't get to derail this thread. Unlike you, this thread is important.

You have to take out the s in https for it to post right here.
Nope, that doesn't work either for (http omitted) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSLPH9d-jsI

While we're at this, Patrick can we have a function to ban trolls from threads when they repost something that's been deleted?

It used to work, until around yesterday. Seriously. I think on of Patricks' fixes might have broke the code.

Works, even with the https, but without its:

I wonder if it means that all the old links are now broken?
If the old links are good than working with the https is preferable.

You have an underscore, not a dash. It seems that Patrick is using regular expressions to detect YouTube links and any link with both "http:" and a dash fails to match his set of regular expressions.
I think the following regex works on all the video URLs posted in this thread.
/^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?youtu(?:\.be|be\.com)\/(?:watch\?v=)?([\w-]{10,})/

From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - William Claude Dukenfield, known professionally as W.C. Fields, with his bizarre and iconoclastic sense of humor, certainly influenced Ernie Kovacs. It had been written that when Fields delivered the story outline of this 1941 film, "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break", the suits at Universal Studios thought the film was so surreal that they recut and reshot parts of it. After which they quietly released the film to movie theaters and Fields from his contract. This sketch, featuring character actress Jody Gilbert, gives a new meaning to the term "customer service".
Currently if you post a message or a thread that contains a YouTube link, the link is removed. You have to edit the post and re-add the link. The code that handles editing posts works, but the code that handles the initial post removes all YouTube links.
