I am using Windows 10 with Goggle Chrome, and have been for some time now. The video ap worked up until ECCIE made the format changes a few days ago.

Below is a screen capture of a Youtube video I posted in the Sandbox Forum. It's what I see when in lieu of a functioning video ap. Until the recent change, it and every other video in that thread worked.

Is this problem being looked at? For some reason, the youtube selection no longer shows up in a post - either the video screenbox is black and truncated (Chrome) or it says "a plug-in is required" (Firefox) on my laptop.

Thousands of videos are now suddenly inaccessible! What's going on?

The behavior lustylad reported sounds like behavior that is a result of a missing or out of date plugin. Another possibility is the changes made to the site now require more current versions of browsers and their plugins in order to function properly.

Nice song. Had not heard that one for a long time.

Was wondering where to find the meanings of the arrive actions?

Windows 10 is more "up to date" than Windows 7, and ECCIE's Youtube ap is not working for at least six individuals using Windows 10 with Google. So, back to the original question, what's being done to correct this problem that began when this site adopted its new appearance?
