youtube embed broken or did I just turn into a complete moron?

You used to be able to embed a youtube video by clicking the Special BBCode button, selecting media, then pasting the youtube url into the media url box. what happened?

now I just get this:

Shawn, wish I knew. I struggle with this every time. Last time I did it, I went to YouTube, clicked share, copied the html or image code, can't recall which worked, went back to themalibucrew, hit the insert image icon, and pasted it in there. Seems like every time, I have to paste it about four different ways to find the one that works, but that is my computer illiteracy more than anything else.

Funny story, about 3 months ago, I really struggled with importing a video. Turns out that the YouTube url had the letters s and h, followed by the number 1, followed ty the letter t. The web site I was trying to paste it in thought I was trying to cuss, and changed it to sh*t. That made the link defective. There simply was no way to get it to paste. Crazy. Took me more than an hour to figure it out.
