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?

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.
