RE: Youtube videos not posting?

I'm running Firefox myself and I've had something similar on and off for the last couple of days. I thought maybe it was something to do with my having to use my Mum's laptop while the pc is in drydock for repair, or perhaps Youtube being a bit glitchy.

I'm using palemoon, which is an optimized version of Firefox. I did notice some peculiarities in a post of TaraJo's, but more importantly, within the past week, a new version of flash player was released or something, requiring me to update the flash player, and resulting in all sorts of weird incompatibilities until I did so (including DP's newest apologetics video not displaying at all in his post). Perhaps this is the source, and Youtube and/or Adobe are fronting incompatible versions of flash plugin which Chrome has yet to update.

Yeah, chrome is screwing up with youtube a lot. When I go to youtube and watch videos there, I can't always change the volume from youtube. This gets annoying when one video is really quiet and the next one is really loud.
Now I start trying to think of a different web browser that won't screw up like that.......
I live on facebook. Come see me there.

I just noticed something else which may be relevant. Depending on the context, the Youtube url that you copy may be https, secure http, rather than plain old http; the forum software does not recognize an https Youtube url and automagically convert it. Just remove the trailing 's' on such urls and it should work fine.

I should really fix that issue already.
Edit: Ok, that should be fixed. YouTube videos should be posted whether you use HTTPS or not.
