[youtube] .... [/youtube] function is disabled or down?//reporting outage

[visitor]

others have also reported being unable to get the youtube embed function to work for several days/going on a week or so now. just wanted to get some official eyes on it in case some folks were not aware.

in the meantime we can just paste the direct link.

for folks wanting to see previous embedded if you 'quote' the post, go back and just lift or highlight and copy the link from the embed function then back out of the quote, and paste the link into a new browser window or tab. that seems to work best for me for now

The new updated versions of some of the most popular web browsers seems to have limited support for Flash, which is used by this forum (and many other websites) to show embedded YouTube videos. We are working on a solution.

Thanks  Nils!

Video preview image now appears in widescreen aspect ratio.

Video titles are no longer part of the preview image.  This is minor, but is there any way to do a mouse over for title or a right click to to see the title?

No problem, the video titles will now show up during preview and mouseover.
