I think this just started. A few weeks ago, I couldn't watch embedded YouTube videos on a Chromebook, but I did a graphics reset and that solved the issue. It was just a single Chromebook, so i don't think it was systematic issue.

Anyways, I'm curious what computer you are using?

running windows 7 and using firefox. I wonder if this is related to not being able to copy and post a photo this morning?

I used to be able to link to DU on Facebook and it would post the title of the thread. Now, It says 403 Forbidden when I try to post a link to a thread here over there. The link still works, but there is no title. It just says 403 Forbidden.

The Twitter video thing started happening a couple days ago for me too. I have been clicking on the number of people talking about this on Twitter to go to Twitter to watch the video, because it does not play on DU any more now.

I finally figured out my VPN was acting like a blocker, so I turn it off for the vids. I use the Safari browser.

would automatically appear in the post I was reading, I'd click and be off to the races. Now they either appear for a nanosecond and then disappear or don't appear at all and I have to click on/go to Twitter to see the attachment.
