This is another new problem that appears to have cropped up.  If the first post in a topic contains a youtube link, it messes up the forum listing... as you can see here http://marveltv.org/forums/shield-tv/ even of the first line of the post is not the video

I am not able to replicate this at all...  It seems to be the vtip bleeding through...  even using your post content and the youtube oembed url for the same video, it doesnt happen...

but I cannot be sure I used the same youtube oembed url as you...  though it does appear so...

can you give us the post content for that first post in the topic?  exactly from the db...

Doesn't matter how I post it in here, it embeds the vids.. so I added a space after http://

 

If you didn't catch it last night you missed a delightful interview with Chloe Bennet on Jimmy Kimmel Live. You can watch that interview below and find out how she almost "<a href="https://twitter.com/ChloeBennet4/statuses/425529312276541440" target="_blank">called her mother a slut</a>".

I can not replicate this either but I believe it can be traced to a video plugin you may be using. Let's backtrack.

You have had the forum quite a while now and I believe you have had many videos embedded so is this the first time this has happened? It has nothing to do with it being the first post in a topic. In this instance it will happen if it is the first or the most recent. As Steve said - it is coming from the tooltip on the post.

If you look at the tooltip content using the console to see the actual code behind it you will see the entire iframe being pulled in - in other words, something is actually running the embedding code and it isn't Simple:Press and it isn't standard WordPress either. If it was either it would always happen.

So - the question arises - as this seems to be something new, have you recently added anything to the mix? Or perhaps some sort of video player/embed tool has been updated? Anything?

I can not replicate but I can help you clean up the topic listing at least. If you add another post to the topic and, using the options before saving - pin it - then that should resolve the listing issue - but it will put the pinned post at the top of course...

But it would be useful to get a handle on the cause before hiding it away of course.

It was Shortcode Embeds on Jetpack, I normally disable all the jetpack crap I don't use but apparently haven't on this site yet. I basically only use jetpack for stats, unfortunately there's no decent substitute and my server doesn't run any stats

ah yes... good find... there is a wp plugin done by core committer Mark Jaquath that defaults any new jetpack features to off...  love it...  think jetpack does it backwards by forcing it enabled...
