Link is a 404 now. :hmmm:
If the forum cannot grab the title within a set time it will default to the normal behaviour of just linking it normally.

You are deliberately using [plain]
[/plain] tags to show off these examples yeah? (you can surround items with [plain][plain][/plain][/plain] tags to show them as typed)
[i]URL typed test below:[/i]
Google
The best thing to do when you copy and paste if it doesn't take by the forum is to, if your right-click menu has it, [b]Paste as Plain Text[/b] or use the toolbar icon with 2 As and a big red X that says [b]Remove Format[/b] when you hover over it. Then add the formatting such as bolden, underline and any colouring to the text to retain the original look.
The video is a bit of a strange one but easy to remedy: when you paste into here, right-click the video and Copy video URL then highlight the video and delete it. Paste in the copied url and remove the [b]s[/b] from the [b]https://[/b] so that it shows [b][plain]http://youtu.be/BLAHBLAHBLAH[/plain][/b] and then either continue on with your post or [b]Preview Post[/b]. The video should now be showing as it used to.
[color=#d20b0b][b]YouTube videos are currently recognised when entered as:[/b][/color]

[color=#d20b0b][b][u]NOT[/u][/b][/color]

Note that there is a fix for this non-recognising of the short https video URL but I will need to take the forum down in order to do it and so will do this later during our more quieter times.

I couldn't completely understand all you were saying but by going with the pics and my own testing I think this is what you were mentioning with this thread and so I hope the above helps you figure out what was wrong and how to go about fixing it. :)
