Problem with videos on CFOT?
It's very strange, but almost all of the posted videos in CFOT, regardless of what they are described as being, are showing up (at least on my computer), as a YouTube video of the "Puttin' On The Ritz" musical number from the Mel Brooks movie, "Young Frankenstein".
The image shown is Terri Garr, from the movie.
Clicking on the video just causes a message to come up, saying that it is not available due to copyright issues.
Is anyone else having this issue? It seems to have just started today.

Doesn't do it for me. Maybe Adblock Plus has something to do with it.
Here's the one I checked:

Should I check others?
Doesn't do it with this one either:

Not seeing the issue with IE while posting in the CFOT as others stated:

Need more information. Can't duplicate with IE nor Firefox (no fancy plugins).
1) Please provide a link to a specific post where the issue is seen.
2) State the browser and version
3) State the device (mobile device, etc.?)

I embedded the video in the testing section, still comes up as Putting On The Ritz. I'm going to try embedding the video at a different website and see what happens.

I replied to your Test video. You're posting the video incorrectly or using an outdated method. First, CorvetteForum doesn't allow IFRAME tags and hasn't for years. No forum would allow that if they're concerned about security. That's one problem. The second problem is you're using the old YT tag that has been discontinued for some time.
Simply copy/paste the URL of the YouTube and the software does the rest.

So apparently what is happening is the old YT tag functionality, which was replaced some 2 years ago, no longer works. So those who have used, or are still using, the YT tag to link videos is the reason why this issue is seen.
We'll see if there's a better way to preserve the old YT tag.
