Why Can I No Longer Embed Youtube Videos In Comments?

I can't seem to embed Youtube videos in comments anymore, does anybody know why this is? I've tried every which way possible but nothing seems to work. Other Sifters seem to have no problem doing it.

(1)...... Using the basic embed code
(2)...... Submitting via "Bookmarlet", copying THAT full code & trying to submit it.
(3)...... Trying both of the above using the OLD embed code.

Feedback here please people.

Thanks.

You can still embed yt vids in comments.

Use old embed type, set size custom, width 500.

For some embeds there are a few checkboxes you need to uncheck to get an old style embed.

Embedding vimeo is a little more challenging, but I can provide instructions if you want that too.

The problem with vimeo embeds is that vimeo itself no longer offers the old-style embeds... so you have to find one that will work and then modify the clip_id (twice) in the embed to make it into the right video clip.

<object width="500" height="275"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6444558&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=FFFFFF&
;amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;wmode=transparent" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6444558&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=FFFFFF&a
mp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;wmode=transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="275"></embed></object>

Maybe wrong thread but a bit related: I can't submit vimeo videos anymore. No matter what I put in the "Video Embed Code"-box: url, new or old embed code. Help.
