When trying to view youtube vids I only get a green screen (audio is fine though) Youtube works ok elsewhere so methinks its my board settings

Any ideas?

Martin,its the embedded vids I cannot see,so cannot give URLs,one example is Chris100uk youtube vid of the Brazilian escort ice skating.

 

 

Edit.... sussed how to find the URL,here's another example

 

 

I can view them via the URL,so not a huge problem anymore.

I meant the url of the post of a specific post where you can't see the video. I can't check all the embedded videos on the site. Maybe there is something wrong with that one, and no one else can see it either.

 

To the right of every post is a post number. Click on that, and it brings up a box with the url of the individual post. Copy that and show it in your post with the question.

 

That's really helpful for these kinds of questions.

Yeah, it might be you. I can view it fine.

 

What browser and version are you using? You might need a shockwave or flash plug in to support youtube.

 

Can you view youtube on it's site with the browser?

I'm using IE8,youtube works fine on it,I am unable to view embedded vids directly from the board,but since discovered I can get round it with just another couple of clicks that take me to youtube.

Happy - use Firefox and avoid IE8 like the plague it is.

 

If you insist on IE8 go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Seriously IE is such a piece of shit just use Firefox and install the flash player.

I've come to hate Firefox, but it is certainly better than IE anything.

 

I use Chrome instead, and it's just fine.

 

Still, I do agree with your comments about IE.
