Any way. I'm unable to see ANY videos posted on the forum. I've tried with Firefox, Cyberfox and Chrome but no look.

E.g: The thread below is what i see. any help would be great Smile

Just disabled it completely stormium. Cleared cache, cookies, history etc and still no luck. This has me baffled?

The problem is likely your browser security settings.

The video in the above referenced thread is loaded with an iframe using a HTTP url, while SB loads pages using HTTPS. Many browsers will not load insecure content on a secure page.

If you are using Firefox, you have to actively tell it to load insecure content.

This should be a simple fix right?
Simply change the embed code Smile
http://mods.mybb.com/view-resource/youtube-mycode
Instead of linking to non-secure content, you should change the code to use the SSL version of youtube.

Code could be changed from:
Code:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
to:
Code:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/$2"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/$2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Making videos appear without the user having to think about why the videos won't show Smile
