Cannot paste youtube links on MSN chats?

[BryanChung]

Can you still paste the full link of youtube on your MSN conversation with friends?

I thought I was the only one but my friend can't too.

only when i removed the "www" and paste "youtube.com/watch?v=dtFMylC41VU" then it works.

Okay seriously WTF. This is starting to become utter bullcrap on MS's end. I just typed in 'www.youtube.com' and it's blocked.

I honestly hope it's not some hidden plan to block access to competitors' services under the disguise of 'oops, something's wrong with the network.'

edit: We're not the only ones: Click here.

Oh so I am not alone. :(

I was talking to some friends and none of us can send youtube links to one-another on Windows Live Messenger, though we could as recently as 12 or so hours ago. What happened?

I'm sick of them blocking ****. There should be an option "I'm smarter than the average bear, I'll protect myself, I don't need you to do it, now leave me alone"

[MasterC]

Maybe they don't want people getting Rick Rolled ;)

[WelshBluebird]

That's a bit crap.

I wonder how they will try to defend this move.

[Bryan000]

[Stuge]

Did this just happen today? Because it was working fine yesterday

[Bryan000]

Happened very very recently. I imagine it must be a temporary mistake of some kind. Surely they wouldn't block youtube, right?

[Marcel T]

Huh, another Bryan posted a thread about this here too.
