I think it's a chrome/mobile problem--noticed it another vbb forum this week, too. Hmm. What happens if you request the desktop version of the page?

It is.

But if they don't...

It'll be a call to the cops.

I just saw what the issue is in your screencap: to make the VBB video code work correctly, you can't use the shortened youtube URL (youtu.be)--has to be the www.youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com) version.

Well.....

Thanks for trying though. Issue may be with Google.
