Get an android tablet. Problem solved. :D

In all seriousness, I'm not sure there's a fix, but I've put it on my list to have a look.

Nope. I mostly use the forum on my iPad as I don't have a laptop at the moment and it's really pissing me off. I even tried d/loading a new browser but nope.

I figured it was an Apple thing rather than a forum thing.

This is probably the cause. But there is possibly a way around it, but I'll need to fish out my old iPhone to do some testing.

In the meantime, can someone that is having the problem just run this check/test and let me know here?

1) Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

2) Confirm that YouTube is set to On, if not set it to On and then try viewing an embedded YouTube video again.

do the embedded youtube players use flash? because i don't think either android or ios have flash compatibility. maybe i'm wrong.

It works on Android in the Chrome browser. Well, when I say 'works' it doesn't play embedded, it links through to the Youtube player when you tap on it. Either way, it still lets you play it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think iOS is meant to do the same since the Youtube app was updated a while ago.

Every now and then, they show up on my iPhone. If you quote the post and then go back, they'll sometimes show up too.
