There is a link at the very bottom of the forum page that links to a site called Create a Forum. This link's name/title, however, is displayed as "Simple Audio Video Embedder".
Surely this could just say "Create a Forum" or something.

The link gets generated by the Mod which allows embedding YouTube videos.
I'd have to check the license to see whether the link can be changed or removed.
The linked website is probably the Mod author's website.
Keep in mind: The link has nothing to do with SFML itself.

I always assumed it's outside of the actual forum. It's the usual area for website creators to sign and link stuff. I was just saying that it would be nice if that particular link didn't feel the need to mislead everyone. It could, at least, link to the mod that shows you can actually do that.
That said, it's not a massive problem and I'm sure it's not going to really bother anyone. Most people will be intelligent enough to know when a link doesn't take them where they expect it too, especially programmers ( 8) ).
It's not particularly intrusive or anything and seems pretty harmless. I mentioned it in more of a "possible overlooked error" way, than an "OMG! THIS PLACE AZ VIRUSESES!!!11" or something.
