Help! Problem With You Tube Embedding

I haven't been able to get any YouTube embeds to show up on my posts for about two weeks now. After 3 years of working perfectly my YouTube embeds just show a blank white box when I posted them instead of the YouTube player with the video on it.

Jackhammer pm'd me this set of instructions:

Your vids are not working agin but there is a very simple way around this.

Use the youtube tags in advanced reply. Copy and paste the url in address bar between the tags and then just delete everything from www up to and including the = sign. We only need the few letters/ numbers after that sign in order for it to play.

I've tried abbreviating the embed code as Jackhammer suggested but it doesn't work either. Maybe I'm misundertanding his instructions. Here's an imbed code from YouTube:
===============================
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCROrQsnaNU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCROrQsnaNU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
================================

From Jackhammer's instructions I'm not exactly sure exactly what code should be deleted and which should remain. If someone is knowledgable on this abbreviated YouTube code, maybe they could show me the abbreviated code that should appear in the YouTube brackets below:

That way I can test the code to see if it will work when I post it from my computer. I hope someone can help me with this issue because my music blog has come to a grinding halt for the past couple of weeks because of this embedding problem.

Thanks, GA\/IN B

You're over doing it.
On youtube site, click on share, then copy the code from the right of the '=' sign.

Then wrap the YOUTUBE brackets by clicking the icon (in Go Advanced) here on MB and paste code between them.

Youtube embedding isn't working on the forum properly at the moment, and until admin let us know what's happening it looks like it'll be that way for the foreseeable future.

As for the code between the youtube tags you want all the numbers and letters between the '=' and the '&' in the web address, not the embedded code.

Or do it manually by typing the brackets and inserting the code.
Quote my post to see how.

The best way to do it now is to copy the characters in the Youtube URL after the "=".

In the case of my video the characters are: CNSaurw6E_Q

So enter in the tags like you normally would, but just use the characters after the equal sign instead.

Ain't my fault! AT&T's Internet service has been extra slow today.

Thanks for all you help my fellow music banterers. Problem solved.

I'm eternally grateful and I'll return the favor in kind. If you need to get somebody wacked for no charge, text me.

Ok, can somebody go over this again... I'm still lost.

No seriously though, what browser is that you're using?
