Just disabled it completely

can you view youtube videos by going to the youtube site?
I cant see them either, someone will look in to it.

If you get a fix can you post it
Kingfish. I'm still unable to see videos on the forum?
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.

Got it
kjf !! Many thanks and welcome back
This should be a simple fix right?
Simply change the embed code
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>
