Glad it's not just me then.
To be clear, I think the forum software is still continuing to work as intended when you use a http link to youtube. The problem is most browsers will no longer render http content on a https page. So the forum software is creating the space for the video, and trying to put it there, but your browser is refusing to let it do the second part.
However, the forum software is not recognising https links at all.
Not that I'm any sort of expert, and I could be way off-base. However, I had a similar problem with a forum I manage (using Vanilla forums). In my case, the problem was fixed by updating to the most recent software.
A brief google around seems to indicate that phpBB may have settings where you can manually indicate how BB tags are translated, which would allow https links to start working with minimal effort. However, fixing pre-existing http links would probably require them to be corrected on a case-by-case basis..
