! No longer available

[Martin Gisser]

Seen that often enough now to "complain". E.g. some Youtube thing which is "! No longer available".
Ridiculous solution: Me clicking "Quote" and copy-paste the URL from out of comment source code into a new browser window.

Those URLs seem all to be http, and my browser just redirects to good https - something the forum software can't process and instead produces "! No longer available".

Sorry, Martin, I don't know how to fix this. I'll ask DungeonMaster one of these days.

I believe that when you click the 'no longer available' the video is opened automatically.

After a while the video frame shows up for me, but not right away.

Seems to be one of those inconveniences of computer tech evolution. (Like the painful transition to UTF-8/Unicode letter coding.)

I managed somehow to shrink me edit/post/reply menu to the point where it accepted no input.

The work around seems to be to engage the [toggle view] icon, stretch the screen to a usable size, then input, preview and post as normal.
The downside is that the default [view] is still an unusable single line that accepts no input or modification.

Logging off and turning off my computer did no good. I searched the help section without success. While this is far from an ideal solution I'll leave this which may aid someone down the line.

Hmmm, that's weird. I stretched the comment box to that line until I couldn't type anymore, but when pressing F5, it reverted back to its original size.

Let me know if this doesn't change back, Terry.

F5 works here too.

Weird.
