Every time I attempt to upload a video to my profile from Facebook I get:

"Sorry, there's been an error."

Anyone else having this problem?

    Courtney,

    Looks like Facebook may have changed the format of their video embed tags. I will have to rewrite a bit of code to get these working properly again. We do a bit of magic on the backend to protect ourselves (and our members) from hackers trying to do nasty things with the stuff they put in that video field by stripping out everything but the actual video code and then regenerating the tag automagically when you visit the profile.

    I've updated your video while I take a look at a more general fix. If you need further changes, drop me a direct line and I will get them posted for you.

    Andrew
