this is the same for all youtube links on the forum.

OSX 10.11.6
Firefox 78.7.1esr (64-bit)
Same problem in safari Version 11.1.2 (11605.3.8.1)

Unless there are multiple members out there with this problem don't worry too much. I haven't got time to fiddle at the moment but will delve deeper later.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Mark needs to replace a bit of code. :( maybe we just live with it for a few days till he's gotten over the last issue. :)

need to update it from http to https in the addbbcode22 (I think) script.

while we are on it there are a few warnings in the content, some of the icons are stored outside the HTTPS and are chucking up a warning . amusingly, it's the w3 xHTML Icon at the bottom of the page.

Ah, maybe that explains why my browser (Opera on Android) flags the site as insecure, even when I'm on the https option.

And I expect changing the links in update emails is also on the to-do list.

Ah @rse! Little bit of digging and it's because the site is now secure that it doesn't like the old links off to non-SSL versions of youtube links so just displays them as blanks.

I tried modifying the BBCode to have SSL in it but that just changed the blank to a square saying that Shockwave was not supported so I regressed that. I also tried to add in a second line of code with https in but it didn't like that either.

Now I've replaced the youtube BBCode with an SSL version so the YouTube button now says YouTubeSSL. People will need to ensure that they are using the https version of the youtube link with the button.

I then need to go about finding a script that will allow me to bulk change all the old posts in the database to reflect the new BBCode otherwise the situation we have now is that all new SSL youtube links now work but all existing posts with embedded youtube video show as blanks. :evil:

Where are you seeing these warnings because I'm not seeing any...

there is a script that will edit the SQL database and replace with HTTPs for you but I see that as a bit of a risk.

That particular one (icon_reimg_zoom_in.gif) was happening before the SSL cert was applied, I saw that last week when I was talking Mike through some stuff but put it low on the list to sort. I can't see what it is that isn't loading because everything appears to be loading on my screen...

The w3 one does load albeit having been upgraded by the browser so I'm not overly concerned with that one.

Re the script, have you got a copy of it? If so I have 3 DEV versions of the forum for testing on so I could run it on one of those to PoC it before going near live. I also have the system running hourly automatic backups of the DB just in case...

I had a copy from quite a while ago, but I can't find it because....... LINUXed the machine.

I'll see if I can get a hold of it again.

A quick chat with my friendly site administrator pointed me to this thread with a PHP string function, this isn't what I remember but he proclaimed it would work.

Can you just run that from PHPMyAdmin?

You could at least test the filter that way (probably)...

Yep new ones working fine it’s the old ones that are causing me a headache now. Will take a little bit of digging before I’m comfortable to run any scripts yes.

Ignore that I’ve just seen your other post. There are now two YouTube buttons, please use the one called YouTubeSSL from now on.

I will remove the other one to avoid confusion.

It’s essentially to do with the work we had to do to put the SSL certificate on, that has meant that any non-secure sites that are linked to will not display.

It’s something I’m going to have to look into but not right now. Using the YouTubeSSL button will allow your videos to be viewed.
