most embedding other than basic images broken

I just noticed that .gifv videos embedded in posts have all been retroactively replaced with the text "Your browser does not support HTML5 video!" and then the link to the video.

Like this:





Additionally, youtube video embeds seem to have been replaced with just an image of the video preview image that is a link to the youtube page, rather than loading the video in a player on the forum post when you click it.

Like this:

I'm using windows desktop firefox 53.0, and the gifv behavior was corroborated by someone else using firefox and someone using chrome.

    This may or may not be related (I don't mind making a separate thread if necessary) but it appears that "size" no longer changes font size.

    Stealing this from Feral's post that went awry:

    size 1
    size 2
    size 3
    size 4
    [size=1]size 1[/size]
[size=2]size 2[/size]
[size=3]size 3[/size]
[size=4]size 4[/size]

    I started a new thread for the font-size issue:

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    The embedding issue for Youtube and Twitter also applies to desktop Firefox v53

    I've also got the embedding issue on Safari, even after clearing cookies.

    Please don't fix it, by the way.

    .gifs with img tags still work for me. Just gifvs are broken.

    animated .gif images are under the umbrella of "regular" images in my mind, whereas gifv's are not actually image files any more than a youtube video is, they are disguised html5 streaming videos.

    YouTube still isn't embedding for me. Running IE 11.0.40, and yes I know IE is garbo but it's all we're allowed at work. (Most likely it's on my end because we have stupid IT policies here, I'd still rather check.)

    edit: never mind, IT just did something weird to our system and now it's working. Going to visit them, not sure if I should bring two dozen donuts or a Louisville Slugger.

    Followup: it looks like youtube playlists are not embedding specially, but they were before this started.

    a link like

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq3JSmGfdWE&list=PLGKxQRzRS83TdekcEtIfZ96iDBuAGZ1XA

    is currently embedding like this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq3JSmGfdWE&list=PLGKxQRzRS83TdekcEtIfZ96iDBuAGZ1XA

    Before that would have embedded as a special playlist container that could go through the playlist, rather than a normal video container for just the video at the watch?v= ID like it's doing currently.

    It's not a very big issue, I don't think we used that function a huge amount, but some people were also using that behavior with a playlist ID of just an underscore to make a fake playlist of just the video in the watch?v= ID embed, because unlike the normal video container the playlist container would show the video's title before you clicked it to load the video, so people could see the titles of videos posted before clicking.
