Reply To: YouTube Embed Issue
You need to make sure embeds are enabled for both bbPress & WordPress
Auto-embed Links
Enable forum participants to embed links from YouTube, Twitter, and others by simply pasting a link into their topic or reply. This is done using the WordPress oEmbed API. More information and a full list of supported sites can be found on the Embed Codex page.

You could enable Featured Images for your theme and bbPress and also display the actual image just as the site you link to does (at the left of the topic/post)
Find out if your theme supports ‘Featured Images’ and if so then enabling them in some customized bbPress templates would mirror that same look. 🙂
