LOL, I caught that there's been some recent posts on this forum and read back to page 2 when Sonny was still posting. What a fucking baby that guy was.

It's not working for me either. This is what the BBCode turns that link into, which should work perfectly:
Probably need to update the BBCode for Youtube somehow.
so hype, does this mean the administrators can straighten this out?

no
i think the board needs to be deleted and a fresh install of an updated board. i'm pretty sure if i try that we may lose all posts.

I'll settle for a post wipe. But whatever works.

or we could just copy the Youtube code and go and watch the video on Youtube. That process takes 10 seconds. I think it would be a shame to lose all the posts. And how often does one watch a Youtube video here anyway? Not very often if you're me

Yeah I don't know if the new phpBB fixes this -- but it could. I'm also not sure why it only stopped working recently -- all old posts with youtube links no longer work. There are all kinds of hacky ways it could be fixed, but it's probably not worth it.

I don't think it's a browser issue exactly because I'm getting the black bar (it's a flash object with no video) in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It could be that Youtube pushed an updated API globally and it's just taking time to propagate across the internet (also depending on caching, etc).
It's confusing because Youtube claims that the old code (<object>) became deprecated a year ago, so there's no clear reason why it should suddenly start affecting people now.
