Problem:
Occasionally videos within threads and comments displaying as an image or not displaying at all.
Reason:
Flash player is a legacy standard of displaying some videos amongst other things.
After an update in Google Chrome and with the other browsers following suit,
Flash player is now set to block/disallow all as the default setting.
Replication:
Locate an active thread which has a video.
If you are able to interact with the item by hovering over it with your mouse cursor, a Play button should appear.
Scroll your Browsers page so this or any other video is not in current view.
Click on refresh browser or press F5 (Sometimes this has to be done more than once.)
Now when you attempt to interact with the video,
hovering your mouse cursor over it will not show the play button.
Rectification:
If this has started to become more of an issue for you, I have three options that should help you.
