   Has anyone else had an issue with broken youtube links and there are none actually.
   
   On my hubpages account area I have about three broken links, I tried to fix them but the Youtube videos that triggered these indications are actually working videos, is anyone else experiencing this. I know hubpages has glitches from time to time, but I just need to know if its only my account or others having such an issue.

   Yep, had this issue as well. Also noticed lots of other people having this issue and someone pointed  out how to fix it.
   
   Just click on the broken links symbol next to your title in the statistics area, then click retest and it should go away.

   Yup, had the same problem. Thanks for the answer Pete - I victoriously overcame the problem with your advice - my theme tune played in the background and I took a lap of victory around my living room. *inspired by the Olympics and can't fill the gap since they ended*

   Thanks for bringing this up. I removed a video yesterday. I just checked and the video is still on Youtube. I'm glad I can put it back.

   I have had the problem also. Sometimes retest works and sometimes I have to just get a replacement video.

   Yes, I have within the past week or so.  I just thought it had something to do with my computer, but I guess not.  I just replaced it with another video.

   One thing you might consider is that the link is broken because the Youtube Uploader may have deleted it, broke violations on YouTube, etc. If you have broken links via that sight, then it's not on you to fix them. It is on you, though, to find a new video or include no video at all if the page is nonexistent anymore.
