Hi MIlesy
Yes, you can put Youtube embeds on in forum posts. Copy the URL of the actual page with the video on youtube (not the html embed code), and post it between the [youtube][/youtube] tags.
There are copyright issues with us putting on vids on from Memory map or anything else from the originators of the data; would it be very different to the Google Earth views since Google updated most of the imagery? However if you mean putting a youtube vid on containing that stuff that is fine as the copyright stuff is up to Youtube.
One idea at the moment is that where you put an OS map track into the route report (by uploading from GPS or using the built in option to draw the route), your post could then have a button that switches between looking at your route on OS map to looking at it in the Virtual Highlands google earth app (so you can walk it etc. in 3D)
