Adding YouTube channel to profile

[Dan In MI]

I've tried to add my YouTube channel to my profile, and failed. My channel name has spaces, which the board software doesn't like. So I tried another avenue, and copied the URL for my channel.

https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCWA0VjH6 ... 9KA/videos

I pasted everything between "channel" and "videos." Though the software affected the change, when I tried to open the link, YouTube gave me a 404 (nothing here) error. The only thing I can think of is that I need to sign out and try again. Otherwise, I have no idea what's at issue. Hoping one of y'all can help.

I suspect that there was some script written by Bryan that removes special characters from the string that could be detrimental to the database. There is something called SQL injection that is very dangerous and hackers can insert malicious code if these characters are not removed or escaped properly before storing the website address in the backend database. The website admin will probably need to recode a bit to get this to work.

Thanks for the reply, Doug. I'll ask Bryan about that.
