Hey Shaun et al,

Not really a major problem, but something I noticed...

The embedded youtube links seem to have begun autoplaying.

This wouldn't be a problem but for two things...

Out here in the wilds of Johannesburg my internet is very limited, so my data allowance is being eaten up.
When there's more than one link in a page, you get a cacophany of sounds...

Any chance of a fix? (not heroin)

In my Opera browser, there is quite a long delay while the embedded videos load up, but they don't actually autoplay. I find it quite annoying on the 'Friday night is ...' type threads where there are lots of YT videos.

Sorry to drag this up again, but this is really weird

Just spent a few weeks back in the UK and youtube videos did not autoplay in the forum.
Now I am back in SA the problem has started again, videos are autoplaying...

Cannot fathom it at all...

Thanks for the link - haven't got any of it to work though. I don't have any Safari extensions and I can't find where to alter relevant Flash settings...
