This has been happening for a little while now and I've tried messing around with how I type the link but nothing seems to be working. Whenever I paste a link into the "Share a link url, image url, or youtube video" area it doesn't show up in my comment (at least I can't see it maybe everyone else can but that wouldn't make sense).
For example in [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Spot-the-hilarity-that-just-happened/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60188158]this thread[/url] I posted the following link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6GW03WsFgU#t=2m38s.
Yet for some reason there is just a large empty space where the video should be appearing. Am i typing the link incorrectly? I don't think so because when I paste it into my browser it goes to the video. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Edited by dazarobbo: 4/11/2013 9:59:37 AMUse the [b]start[/b] parameter in the URL. For example: http://www.youtube.com/embed/bOcioqwN2Hc?[b]start=90[/b]&wmode=transparent&rel=0 will start the video at the 90 second mark.

The embed field does not handle "start at time reference X" suffixes well (at all actually). If you want people to see/start at a particular point in a video, you will have to longhand suggest the point for them to forward to. "Watch from 3:21" for example.

Are you using mobile or desktop? I find that I also have this issue when I am posting from mobile so I found the best choice is to go to the desktop version of youtube and copy/paste from that url. If you are using desktop I noticed that the end of your url isn't hyperlinked, so that may be an issue. I wish I was more tech savy when it comes to urls and stuff like that but I am not.
