YouTube URL to Channel showing up as blank video...

[dontdentmycar]

Forum URL: projectroadrush.freeforums.net

We're a forum where most of our members have YouTube channels.  I've encouraged everyone to provide a link in their signature so that others can subscribe to their channel.  But in the last day or so these URL's are showing up as 'blank' videos.  

If you put a link for a real video in the message the video shows up just fine, but as mentioned the URL to the channel is also showing up as if it's a real video.

I'm using browsers Safari and Opera (Mac).  Also, Chrome on a PC.

Here is an example thread where the posted videos are showing up fine, but the URL to the person's YT channel is showing up as a 'mock' video.  projectroadrush.freeforums.net/thread/971/road-rage

I looked for a similar topic and couldn't find any.   Any ideas on what is causing this or how it can be fixed?

Hello dontdentmycar,

Unfortunately for now you are going to have to disable the disable the "Auto-Embed Video Links" while we fix the issue. To do this goto Admin> Setting> Forum Settings> Scroll down to the "Boards & Threads" section and select no for Auto-Embed Video Links.

I will put in a bug report ticket for you.

Sorry for an inconvenience this may cause you.

Thanks for the reply.

I am unsure of your intent by resurrecting an old thread to post a quote of the OP. If you have an issue that needs the assistance of Support, please start your own thread and your own words to explain the issue.
Thank you.
