    Yea, already fixed it. Because of the way the YouTube iframe embed code works, if someone puts a malformed URL into it then YouTube tries to load it's 404 page; however, the YouTube site is designed to break out of frames, so the entire page gets redirected.

    I'm trying to figure out a way to either filter the URL put into the YouTube tags or a way to stop the page loading if it's broken :/

    A measure has been put in place which should strip the (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=) or (http://youtu.be/) if they are placed in a [youtube] tag, which should stop the site redirecting to YouTube.

    Alright, since the fix didn't work properly and people are still putting full URLs into the BBCode, we've reverted from the newer iframe embed code back to the old object code.
