Is anyone else having trouble seeing the screenshots when someone imbeds a YouTube video in a post? I just get a black box with part of a letter "Y" at the bottom, not the usual image from the video posted.

I use Safari (on iOS and El Capitan)

I don't know why but embedded Youtube videos on this site have stopped working for me as well. I'm also using Safari on El Capitan.

Ditto, Sweatleaf. Clearing history did nothing. It's only this site. I don't have this problem when viewing other message boards.

Is it possible to click on something to go to the YT website? It is usually the YouTube symbol in the lower right corner, and the only reason I do not post a link if I embed anything. If users cannot see that, it looks like I am going back to giving a description and a link.

EDIT: Interesting...I get the black box and Y as well. When the Y is clicked on, it takes the user to the YT main page and not the video. So I guess it is back to my previous option.

I'm getting the black box as well, using Chrome & Windows 10. Started a couple of days ago I think. A "Y" appears but if I click it I go to the Youtube homepage not to the video posted. Same when my adblocker is disabled.
