why do i keep getting redirected to youtube.com when trying to reply to a post?

i am trying to reply to the LOL thread in the OT, sometimes when i click reply i will get redirected to youtube, or when i try to attach the picture or preview the post happens in FF and IE

Same thing in the Forza 4 photo thread in the video game section. I sent messages to Mods in that section about it. I didn't know it was spreading to other sections as well.

I think it's related to the way some of the videos are getting embedded. Both of those threads have one thing in common: one of the videos was embedded using the full screen url. Another thing is that they both had ?wmode=transparent. That may be a red herring though, it's probably just something with the full screen url.

Looks like the issue is they put a full youtube url in between the u2b tags. This works on the thread page for some reason, but when you click Go Advanced, it renders the thread on that page as well, only it doesn't do the youtube embed properly. It tries to load:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/http://...de=transparent

And instead of the video in the iframe, it loads a 404 page. There must be some kind of redirect logic on youtube's site somewhere that then causes the entire page to go to the youtube homepage (most likely they have the redirect when the referrer isn't what they expect).
