 I subscribe to http://www.akff.net/forum/ and
 !http://www.kfdu.com.au/forum/. Both are phpBB sites

 BACKGROUND

 Discussion on those websites sometimes involves the linking of youtube
 videos. When creating links to youtube videos, https is not permitted.
 Youtube URLs need to be modified by the removal of the 's' from a link.
 For example:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCG-b46fdqg

 needs to be modified to

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCG-b46fdqg

 to enable linking. This is obviously not an HTTPS issue but demonstrates
 that the site does not handle https content.

 PROBLEM

 With https everywhere enabled, youtube videos posted by others are not
 visible. Instead of the video, white space is displayed.

 Chrome Version 2014.26.6
