Well the update has caused a bit of turmoil for some of us using Internet Explorer to browse the site. Especially pertaining to YouTube videos for some odd reason. I believe I have worked out the issue and have rewritten this small tutorial to hopefully help out those wondering what to do.
First, if you ARE using IE, update to version 8. This will not only help with this problem but it seems to load the pages of this forum much faster.

Anyway, when posting a YouTube Video the code used to have to look like this...
...which now gives you this...

Now it seems that this is the code you need for YouTube videos to display properly. (You can also use 'youtube' in place of 'media' as demonstrated below)
(Notice that you need the entire link now instead of just what is after the equal sign in the address)
...the code now works as you can see here...

Much of the code work is taken care of now with the media button. Just make sure to use the entire link now instead of just the partial for youtube videos.
Also, the embed code from YouTube still does not work on the forums.
^^^See^^^
Another note: It seems you can only post so many video codes per post.
Hope this helps,
Magnum
