There seems to be a problem with videos

There seems to be a big problem with all videos which have been posted on this forum.

(edited 18.45 - I've found a quick temporary fix to this problem which is to delete my cookies - see my posting of 18.43)

They don't work any more for me either on Firefox or Internet Explorer.

If I post a Youtube clip the usual way, I get this:

Which doesn't work, and that seems to the same for all the videos which have been posted. And clicking on the title won't take you to the Youtube page as it used to.

I've worked out that if in Youtube, you click on Share, then Embed, then select Use old embed code, copy the coding which appears above, come here, click on HTML icon at the far right end, paste the text there on a seprate line after all the lines already shown, you can then get it to work. But that's too complicated to be user friendly.

What operating system are you using (like Windows XP which is what I have) and what internet browser do you use (I use Firefox or Internet Explorer)?

Thanks, Jenstar. I'll wait to see if anyone else is having problems or if it's just my computer.

When I click the video to play it jumps in front of my reply box making it very difficult to reply.

Velvet, at least someone else is having the same problem. It seems very odd that some people are and others aren't even if they are using the same browser.

Well spotted and worked out

I have now reported this on the Social Strata help forum to Seatlle to see if they have any ideas.

Social Strata have come back to me to say that there is nothing they can do. It's something to do with Youtube conflcting with something with my browser or Flashplayer. I doubt if it's the browser as it's the same problem with Firefox and with Internet Explorer.

Thanks for trying EL.

It is annoying though - eg Rawky's X Factor video's useless for me.

I have discovered a fix to the problem.

Delete your cookies and then the clips come back as they used to.

I found this tip on the Youtube help forum. It seems to be something to do with HTML5, and this is a fix whilst Youtube try to work out the problem. The posting did say that the fix won't permanently solve the problem which will probably come back, but when it does I'll at least know to try deleting my cookies.

Tried that a few days ago EL and still not playing.

That's a blow, Velvet. I have just looked at video clips in other threads and they are now working for me.
