YouTube code not accepted

[Paul R Miller]

I recently posted a project in the appropriate forum along with an animated video of the piece (a marquetry box) turning itself inside out.
The YouTube ID code is X****LjyH9g. This ID is in both the share code and the embed code and which ever I use the four lower case letters are replaced by asterisks rendering the code invalid.

Here's the strange part. When I typed the above code, I typed four lower case letters where you see the asterisks. I can't get the site to accept these letters, even when I type them as a separate word. I'll type them again: **** I did not type asterisks. Trying again as separate letters this time with spaces they are: b o r k
If these letters replace the asterisks, the link works but I can find no way to get the site to accept them.

BTW, I have used the code elsewhere and it works fine. It's just here.

Any ideas? It's a cool little animation, too bad you can't see it.

Bad coincidence.

Paul, it is a long story but the software at SMC will not allow the letters b-o-r-k used in tandem.

Tell people to do a YouTube search using “locked out – paul miller”

Great video!

That's unbelievable! I'd love to hear the story but for now I'll make the annotation that you suggest and re-submit the video to YouTube and see if the new code works.
Are those the only four letters that aren't allowed?
Thanks for the prompt response.

You know, I was just beginning to wonder what the chances were that YouTube had randomly generated a word that the board was filtering. But that is not one of the words I was figuring it might be.

I re-published the video and got a new code. It works now. Many thanks for all the help.
