This started fairly recent. Many of the videos posted do not work for me, I hit on them, it appears to start and immediately returns to what it was. Is this something on my end, the NYG end or something else. The most recent is in the Club House, smart teacher thread.

None of the facebook videos work on my phone. I think its all the ad blocker and anti tracking stuff I have on it.

It's on your end. That's a facebook embedded video. Probably Adblock / NoScript / Ghostery / whatever other ad-blocking software that's catching it.

I used to run an adblocker. It broke the internet for me. Many websites didn't work. You may not notice it if you only go to a few websites but if you surf a lot, you'll see that many webpages won't even load correctly.

Use a chrome based browser. You won't get those intrusive pop-ups anymore. Those are a thing of the past. I have no problems with being bombarded with ads using chrome.

I haven't had any issues with videos here on NYGF.
Using the Windows 7 OS, I run IE 11 with adblocker plus.

IDK, just sayin'

Ok, just one of your weaker jabs. :D

No problem, happens to us all.

Have pity on me tho. Just had Post-Xmas dinner with family.

Whoo Boy is one of my Sister-In-Laws a Liberal.

Yet even she hates Elizabeth Warren. So who voted for The Chief ?

I have a Mac. I haven't added anything, I probably wouldn't know how anyway, HAH! I don't even know what an ad blocker is, I can infer, but I don't know.

Companies like facebook fairly regularly change methods of how they distribute video. This could be a number of things on your end, but in this case I believe it's javascript related. I use a script blocker (NoScript) and notice that to view that video I have to allow facebook scripts and specifically a script from s9e.github.io for it to play; which would reference some software platform they are using for video support. It has nothing to do with NYGF's end, as it's essentially just a link to the video that's on our site.

@Robin

I just opened that link on my macbook with both Safari browser and Chrome browser. The video worked perfectly. I don't know why it's not working for you. I was able to make Safari not play the video by disabling Javascript and also on Chrome.

If you are on Safari, make sure Javascript is enabled. to check,

1 .open safari,
2. on the top left click on Safari,
3. click on Preferences,
4. click on Security, and
5. make sure Javascript is checked next to Web Content.

If you are on chrome...

  1. Go to the Chrome menu on the top left.
  2. and select Preferences.
  3. Scroll down the web page and select the tab Advanced on the bottom of the web page.
  4. Under Privacy and security, click Content Settings.
  5. Select the JavaScript tab and choose the option Allow all sites to
    run JavaScript    .

Good Luck, my man.

Windows 10 was acting up something awful a week ago.

I simply rebooted, and then saw an UPDATE needed to be installed.

All is good now.

And still nothing? Hmmm. Maybe Facebook blocked you because you make guns. That's my only guess. Good luck.
