trouble with youtube link in profile

Postby tomgosse » Wed Aug 26, 2015 10:53 pm

Hi all,

It appears that youtube has made a change in how they assign user names. This messes up how this bulletin board tries to connect to youtube. Here is what is happening : if I copy the user id from youtube and paste it into my profile the bulletin board adds "https://www.youtube.com/user/" in front of it. The problem is that youtube does not use the "user" field anymore. Youtube wants to see "https://www.youtube.com/c/" before the use id. So, I get a "channel does not exist " error.

This does not work : https://www.youtube.com/user/ThomasGOSSEfrench

So, the bulletin board needs to change /user/ to /c/. I'm not sure if other people are having this problem.

All the best,
Tom
