Youtube embed not working

I don't know if it's just me, but I tried embedding a Youtube video in a forum post and it didn't work. It just showed the text that I wrote. And I'm positive that I typed it in correctly. I actually went back to another post that I embedded a video in, and when I edited and re-sent it without changing anything, the video disappeared and the text showed up.

Noticed the same thing happening myself.

Youtube videos already embedded in posts work as they did. New embeddings do not, and edits to posts with previously embedded videos cause the coding to not work, too.

NOPE! Doesn't work. If you're wondering if the video I am attempting to embed is, It's only a disco classic.

It still doesn't work, as I learned the hard way today. Anyone know if/how the devs responded when this issue got reported to them?

Just pretend I wrote something witty here, okay?

Fixed a while ago, so closing.
