Unable to use certain bbcode tags

I just tried to quote one of fwiffo's posts that had the embedded [flash] tags for a youtube video, but it yelled at me when I tried to submit it.
"You cannot use certain BBCodes: [flash]."

Fwiffo, did you get these set up just so you could use them? ;)

Oh, I guess I could use those because I'm an Admin. I thought someone else decided to turn it on. Sorry about that. Does the community wish to enable flash for everyone?

You get a "yes" from me for obvious reasons :D.

Does this mean that it still does not work?

Logout and login, maybe? The permissions could be set wrong, but they look right to me.

Nope, still doesn't work; even tried clearing out my cookies and trying again; still doesn't work.

edit: Got it to work, but should note that the youtube link has to follow a certain format; http://www.youtube.com/v/fgJ4YteVqOs works when it's wrapped with the flash tag but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgJ4YteVqOs doesn't.
