I assume it doesn't create any other risk?... Is that right?

With the browser settings (described in the first three posts in this thread) you're allowing insecure content (connections are not https encrypted) for the whole IORR site. It's not just a workaround for displaying the embedded YT-videos. It decreases your browser security and can leave you vulnerable to attacks.

What is mixed content? - [www.Cloudflare.com] .

if you choose to enable insecure links on IORR, in your browser, like it is explained in the first post in this thread, then you allow display of any external or internal links anyone may post on the IORR forum. Secure and insecure.

The process that I explained in the first post of this thread was just a workaround to get the YouTube videos to display & play in the forum.
BV, I assume it doesn't create any other risk?... Is that right?

BV, would someone have to physically CLICK on an insecure link in the forum , one posted by a so-called 'mad user' to actually pose a threat?

Everyone can make a link that is not like it looks like:

Thank you for replying. But I still can’t remove a post. I can only edit a post. I can delete the words and put some other words in it, but not delete the whole post.

Remove all the words and leave one dot or whatever

Only BV can delete a whole post (contact him via email) - but it would require a lot of his private time if everybody sends him a mail with: "Oops, can you just delete my mistake?".

It appears that everything is working again the way it used to without any adjustments to various browsers, etc. - at least on my end.

With the 's' removed from the https

Of course I would not do this and take a lot of bv (Bjornulf’s) time for this. Just edit the post is enough, but it’s a bit strange one can’t delete his own post if it is a mistake.

Yes, playing embedded YT-videos works again (w/o tweaking the browser). Works again also on Apple Safari.

Some forums have a feature where you can delete your own post by yourself as long it's the last post in the thread (has something to do how databases work).

May be that is forum sites paid for by ads or sponsors.
IORR is no ads no sponsors, no funds for fancy high tech functions.
Most people use "Edit post" and delete text i.e. empty post - works fine.
