Unable to embed YouTube videos

[bigbishounen]

Having a strange issue in that I cannot post YouTube videos using the YouTube button.  Either using Embed code, Shortened URL or regular URL.  NONE of them work.  In each case it puts the video into the post preview, but when I go to post it I am met with an error about the Administrator having diabled linking to that website...

 

But.. It's YouTube.  I see DOZENS of YouTube videos linked everywhere in the forums...

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Works for me. Are you doing it the same way I did it?

 

1. Copy the link of the Youtube video from the URL on the top of the screen.

2. Press the Youtube embed button and paste the link onto the second bar that says Paste Youtube Video URL right below the large box.

Yes.  That is exactly what I do.

 

It shows the video in the preview, and then when I hit "Post" I get this:

 

"You have entered a link to a website that the administrator does not allow links to."

 

I can't even post the SCREENSHOT of the error.

 

?????

Try using a different browser.

I'm using Firefox.  It should work.

OK, Test with IE11:

 

 

 

EDIT:  HOLY SMOKES!

 

That has to be the first time in YEARS that a website has worked in IE but been broken in FF.  What kind of code are they using around here???

Second Test in Firefox with all Add-ons Disabled:

 

 

EDIT:  Ok, Mea Culpa.  It's one of my add-ons doing it.  I restarted FF in "safe mode" (No add-ons) and everything works.

 

You know, I work in IT.  I should have known to go through this process first.  How many times have I walked people through it myself?  *Sigh*  Sometimes we refuse to listen to our own advice.
