Hi Dafydd,

I just tried linking a Youtube url that began with "https" and it did not work.

I finally got it to work by dropping the "s" and changing the beginning of the url to "http"
Can you verify when you get a chance please.

thanks.

Hi RobAC,

Thanks for the input.

"Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network, with especially wide deployment ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure

Embedding script into a website (your own) is different from "embedding" a script onto a forum. I know of no plans to change the requirement here.
