Which tells me there's nothing wrong on our end.

Does your work laptop use the same ISP as you do at home?

I agree there's nothing wrong on your end.

Posting from the lapper now, using my wireless network at home.

Things look fine.

The problem I'm having is every vid I click on, it comes up as no longer available.

Is that the same problem as stated previously?  ???

Nope...

He was talking about not having anything to click on.

I should mention that on my work laptop, that shows the vids normally, they come up as unavailable when I click on them.

A second click on the vid takes me to youtube where it plays fine.

Still nothing shows up on my home pc or phone.

same issue here, single click says video unavailable, second click takes me to youtube and the video plays. I did notice that using the low quality option let's me watch them embedded

I'll see if I can find the old version of auto embed and replace the one we're using now.

I think youtube just switched over to the quality options recently

might be that is the problem?

...is it really a problem?

or

is it just a quirk?

I don't see it as a problem.

It's youse guys that are whining about it. [laugh] [laugh]

If I can find the older version it would be worth a shot to improve the functionality of it. The embedded vids were supposed to make things easier. I liked the new version because it didn't create a page of youtube frames if people kept quoting the original post.

Before you click the video check the quality setting.

They will not play in the embedded player on HQ+

It's not a quality setting for me. . .

the video is just plain not displayed.

Normally there's the square that contains the still frame from the vid, and a clickable text link under it.

All I can see is the text link, on my pc and i phone.  My work laptop will display the still frame, and I have to switch it off hq+ to make it work.

It all works from my pc.

Sucks to be you...

No. . .

My inherent off the charts level of awesomeness pretty much makes me. . .
