The embedding of Youtube clips into posts is no longer working for me. Anyone else?
(URL still works, though)

I've realised what is causing the problem for me, Nicola.

Whenever I click on a YOUTUBE link to get the URL I want to imbed, it shows as https://www.youtube.com/....

If I remove the "s" - then it works!

Also, I only get this behaviour with Firefox. Chrome is OK.

As it only affects me (presumably coz I'm using Linux) + I can get round it, consider it solved/ a non-problem.

Whether or not the "https" affords the viewer extra protection is another matter.
