I now recall resorting to the Forum Edit Box's "Source" button to fix something or other to do with a link in the past where a good link had magically turned bad. The displayed text had diverged from the action component - sorry I don't know the correct terms.
I think I have noticed (and reported here already? - hmm maybe not) that some posted youtube links that don't work auto-magically work when "Quoted" using the forums quote tool. Not sure.
