It seems to be a new forum bug that affects embedded videos. There was a forum upgrade recently and that might be the reason. I'll let someone know

 

Thanks for the report.

It will also show blank if your in another country, and YouTube is blocked. For example, I am in China right and the videos show blank. I am using my iPhone.

In order for me to make it show I need to use a VPN ( Virtual Private Network ). This will make YouTube think I am in the United States, then I can see the videos in the forums.

But currently it's an issue as the BB code doesn't help.

As I read this thread, I tested it myself and well, the screen turned blank without any video.

Could be the request I put in to have the "Proposals & Suggestions" section moved. After they moved it, and did forum updates... something got messed up.

Heh heh... :D

I did mention this to Oda and he is looking into what can be done forum- wise about this but there might also be an issue with the browser that you use. I'm using Chrome and never had a problem seeing videos here. When I saw this topic yesterday, I went to check a few threads where I had seen the videos previously and found that now they were missing for me.  But I was able to fix that temporarily by clicking on the little shield next to the star that you use to flag a favorite and allowing the "unsafe" content. There is probably something similar on other browsers too.

Unfortunately this is not a permanent solution and if you close and reopen the browser, you have to do it again even on the same page you did it before. But until something is done on the forum itself, at least this is a workaround so you can see the videos that people have posted
 
I'll update if I hear anything official regarding a fix for the forum itself.

Now that you've mentioned it, I've tried it on Firefox too, and it worked.
