Youtube has changed the way it links youtube videos and the new linking method doesn't auto-embed on the forum. 

There are a couple of solutions to this.

1) you can use the built in youtube embedder in the forum editor box. You can see the little youtube icon in the tool bar.

2) when you're copying a link to the youtube video, copy everything to the left of the "?" in the link.

I'll use one of Byte's songs for an example.  Remove everything in red text from the link.
