How do you fix the circle with a line thru it in the left hand corner and get the picture back. Not sure what I did to make it go away. Please help.

I've been getting the same thing for some time now. Instead of a picture (or a YouTube box), I get a big blue box with a small blue circle with a diagonal line in it in the upper left hand corner of the blue box). Short of a picture, I can't see how it can be much clearer.

Sigh! I get them right here on these forums (as well as elsewhere). Example: the first two posts in this thread.

Working here too.

@ warlock. No, it happens on other sites, too. When I know it's a YouTube video and i know what it's about, I can usually Google it to fine it on YouTube's website and I'm able to play it there. I've also been able to see them when someone provides a link. As far as I know, it's only videos but, since I can't see the stupid thing in the first place, it's often a wee bit difficult to know what the divil it is.

@ doctordeere. Yes. Besides, if that was the problem, I wouldn't think I would be able to view the videos elsewhere.

Check your browser plugins, No Script/Ghostery there may be a setting there preventing the script.

When did this start?

Can you post a pic of what you see.

I've reported this before but it went nowhere. This is from the post I linked earlier.

Try running the browser in no-add-on mode. If it works then then you have an errant add-on causing the problem
