YouTube embedding

[goo_mason]

The new YouTube embedding is getting me into bother at work - YouTube's blocked here and any attempt to access it is flagged up and reported. That's fine, but the new video embedding on the forums is showing each post in a thread with a vid in it (or quoted with a vid in it) as an attempt by me to access a banned site!

There's probably not much that can be done about it, but it's probably going to mean that CC is excluded from my lunch-hour browsing from now on so that I avoid getting sacked!

I'll ask on the XF developer forums to see if there's any way around it.

Have you tried using the mobile style?

Can you try and explain the situation to IT, and point out you only use it at lunchtime?

I'll give it a go tomorrow & let you know how it goes.

I work in IT, but no - there's NO exception to banned sites. The IT Security team would laugh me back to my desk if I even asked!

I gave this a try and it was I was still getting blocked messages for anybodies embedded video. The old site just didn't show them.

Ours would laugh me to the front door while waiting for a black sack with my belongings in if I was to try it.

The Security staff would probably be waiting at my desk after I'd returned from IT Security to frogmarch me out the door!

Do you two work for MI5 or something?

Well, that's reasonable of them.

On your mobile it is then!
