Youtube and other non working URL

Tired of posting youtube URL that doesn't work

The trick, you need to escape all nonalphanumeric characters in the url ex: ? need to be replaced by %3F (See this guide on URL Escaping)

Bad
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHqp6iq1ekA
Good
www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv=KHqp6iq1ekA
See the difference?

Also you can embed the video in the post by using the "YouTube" button and pasting the code (not the link but the embed code) from the youtube page and you will get a result like this
