You Tube problem

I just started having problems when I click on a YouTube video.

The video "screen" is in the thread but when I click on it, I get the message "An error occured, please try again later."

However, if I immediately double click the video screen, it opens a new window and I can watch the video without any other issues.

Any ideas?

I'm running XP Home ( SP3 ) on a P4 Dell 2.8GHz with 1.49 MB of ram.

Thanks
Jeff

Here's a thread I started where I embedded a youtube video.

I also put in a direct link since I had a problem during the preview before posting.

This will actually be a YouTube issue and not a CorvetteForum issue, therefore, support will probably be limited as it's not within CF's control. This issue appears to have been very common in the YouTube community.

YouTube videos are simply embedded into the CF. This means CF doesn't serve them, YouTube does. Basically, it's just a fancy link inside a post that initiates the video to play between you and YouTube. YouTube is serving the video to you, via your connection.
