U tube missing on this site
« on: October 28, 2019, 03:30:43 PM »
I have two desktop computers This one is mostly for drawing and the other is for email and all sort of other programs. I have firefox as the browser on both. On this computer the u tube on Roger's double cylinder engine is missing. on the other computer it is there. I do not see what the difference is can anyone give me a clue as to how to solve this issue?

Thanks Mike

Hmmm... Just tried it on my computer, none of the youtube videos are showing up, not even my own in other posts. I can view things ON youtube fine. I see nothing here, not even a broken link symbol or anything, just a blank space.
I just upgraded to the latest Firefox yesterday, something to do with that maybe?...

I was just reading the Firefox security info and they are blocking mixed content as a default now. so passive images and video represent mixed content. on my other computer the url address  padlock has a red line through it and on this computer there is a yellowish triangle in front of the address.

I tried disabling that, no difference. Also went and looked at the site with internet explorer, videos here on MEM
 are not working there either!
Also checked on the HMEM forums, videos work for me there fine. So, something change on this forum's software?

FOUND IT!
If I change the https:  in the address to http:  (no 's') then the videos work fine. Something goofy in how it handles secure connections, with the recent updates, looks like.

Ade had a post recently about an update of this site from http: to https: in not too many days and this will solve those browsers that will not accept a "Unsecure connection" ...!!!
I expect that to solve this issue, when Ade has finished this update  :cheers: Ade  :ThumbsUp:
