The issue of a "black" video (as some are calling it) that some are experiencing in their comments, has been looked into. This video is from nbc.com. It is not a defacing code or video, but it does have one "rogue" element to it. And because it's a third party embed code, there's nothing that Multiply can do regarding this.
What this video does, is WHEN you click on it to play, it COPIES the embed code of the video to your clipboard. (Like when you right click copy on a share code except you DIDN'T intentionally see or copy any code) It does this without you knowing it. So when you try to paste (and maybe type) something ANYWHERE else, it pastes that code instead. Thus, the video is proprogating and spreading around. FROM STAFF:pkailasa wrote today at 4:12 PM
Linda, I looked at the video code. In this case there is nothing we can do to disable this behavior of copying to clipboard. It is something provided by the flash video player from NBC, presumably as a convenience for the user if they want to embed the video's code somewhere else.I do agree with you that doing this without user action is a bad thing. But in this case the video player that plays the video is not controlled by Multiply and so unfortunately we can't do anything about it.The best thing is to advice the users to watch what they paste.This code is easily removed if you find it in your comment section, and the sooner the better so no one clicks on it, and then gets "stuck" with it too.
You can clear your clipboard's copy/paste feature by clearing your temp/cache files which MUST include your computer's temp files.

It appears that this code gets hung up in your clipboard either on it's own or because it's "buffer" IS already so full. So you can easily remove it from your comments and your clipboard, IF copying something else does not remove it from your clipboard.
Again, this is not a defacing code of any kind. It's an ANNOYANCE though. You can disable html in your guestbooks to stop these types of codes from affecting you, your site, and your contacts that visit you. You can also NOT paste code in other user's comment areas.
