Solution to Youtube Videos not Displaying Correctly

I wanted to include a couple of Youtube videos and images on my WSO thread for Color Magic but whatever I did with the page bb code, either the video displayed as a text link and images displayed correctly.
Or the Youtube video displayed correctly but lots of images were missing.
Warrior tech support were great trying to help and decided there was no problem displaying the page correctly using Internet Explorer or Firefox 17.
I was using Firefox at the time 15 and confirmed the page displayed OK on other PC's
This morning I upgraded to Firefox 17 - and the problem was still there!

Now I've discovered the root cause of this problem.
A Firefox Add-On I use called Flashblock (version 1.5.15.1) that prevents videos from auto-playing.
Flashblock includes a 'white-list' of sites that do not get blocked and adding warriorforum.com to this list made the problem displaying my thread go away.

Hope this helps if you have Flashbliock installed on Firefox and are having problems getting Youtube videos to display

    It's worth noting that UNTIL a WSO thread is paid for and goes live, any Youtube videos will only show as text links. They will not appear as actual videos until the thread is paid for and approved.

    Maybe that was the issue you were having?

      No. At first I thought that might have been the problem.
      But problem remains after WSO posted
      It's some interaction between Flashblock and Firefox not displaying Warrior pages with Youtube videos correctly.
