Found a great video then post it up here. It doesn't have to be about bikes.

It really pisses me off, sometimes it will show the link, other times it won't, if you click on the blank area where the link would be, it still plays the vids, then when the video is finished, the link is shown in the post, weird.

Only happens on this forum too.

I think it may be because you're using Safari as your browser, try downloading a different one like Opera, (other browsers are available), if that don't work, then it's beyond my area of expertise...

Easy fix. Shut down safari completely, re open and it'll open on the page you left it on, with the video link this time.

It may be that you need flash to view them and it's not installed on iPads.

It can't be flash or safari because it works sometimes.

This is a way to fix it. It must be something about how this page links videos or caches them or maybe the browser runs low on memory or something. Happens on my ipad too. And only here.

Some technical weird stuff happens and a restart fixes it and I think unless the forum changes or the forum software gets upgraded, we are stuck with it.

Sometimes I find that if I click where the play arrow should be the video will play full screen after a couple of seconds.
Boo :-p
