IPhone Forum Browsing Question

[messenger]

Just wondering if anyone knows why some videos don't appear on my iphone when browsing forums (rig-talk, tgp). It's just a blank space in the post. Sometimes they are there and other times nothing. I tried turning off the pop up blocker but didn't help.

What iPhone and version of iOS?

My 4 is running iOS 6 and shows all vids in safari while my 5s does not. Must be an iOS 7 bug?
FWIW the free Mercury browser works well and doesn't have any problems showing embedded videos.

Same here and this has been an ongoing issue with IOS 7 for quite some time.

Yep, was hoping to see a fix here. I guess we can all download another browser for our phones

I'm not seeing vids on io7 either

They eventually work on the iPad, but still just hang on my iphone4 ios7. It takes a while, and the audio plays long before you see any video however. Still broken really.

This was posted in Off Topic previously and we all have the same issue. Still do.

The fix is when you open the page you want click back and then click forward. When the page reloads the video will be there.

You know the back and forward arrow keys < and >

Not always. Sometimes the video will be black and will have audio only. Its been screwed up on my Ipad for well over a year now, but its not just on here. Its wherever a youtube video is embedded on a forum for me.

One of the reasons I went with an iPad was to avoid these things

Well, I have never used the ipad. I was referring to iphone specifically but I am unsure why there would be any difference between the two.
