On all my stuff they removed the "Use old embed code" option that is needed for embedded vids here. I had to run the lat couple vids through a "convert to old embed code" program to generate the code...

Is the option still there in youtube and it got moved?

Last one I put in I didn't have that option anymore either. I went to the YouTube thread and quoted a prior post so I could steal the old code and put in the url string for the new video (it is in there twice) and it worked like a charm.

No idea how long they'll keep supporting access via old style links, though.

I've been doing that for a while now.
