It must be device dependent, they work well on the mobile phone I use.

I think it's an issue with Chrome (well, this website interacting with Chrome). You can use another browser. Or, people usually post a URL beside the embedded video that you can click instead.

Chrome on a mobile seems OK - but Chrome on a PC just won't play nicely with MV's changes to embedded code. MV made the change way back when, when embedded videos weren't a 'thing'. Then Chrome changed their code, and the MV magic work-around no longer worked.

This is unlikely to get fixed.

So it's a 'rule' on MV that if you post a youtube URL, you should MUST also post that URL within BBcode URL brackets:
[url]http://youtube-whatever[/url]
which will show as:
http://youtube-whatever

Posts which do not include this when posting youtube stuff get 'hidden'.

This is what we have all been asked to post a Chrome friendly link or risk the post being taken down. Meh, not a big deal and takes all of 5 seconds but not everyone does it. It's just a copy/paste then select and use the URL button. If you can post a YouTube link using the URL link button on MV is no more difficult.A bit of a PITA on mobile but doable.

Places I've ridden a scooter - all bar Spain and Portugal on my own scooters. Those were hires.
