    Using the newest ipad with ios 7, clicking on any embedded you tube video crashes the browser. Only happening with boards. Happened with the initial release of 7, and the 7.0.2 update released this week.

    Apologies for the lack of updates on this til now. Haven't been able to recreate here on our end, which is making difficult to debug any potential issue.

    I've encountered a lot of literature online which details issues with Safari on iOS7 where embedded YouTube videos cause Safari to crash due to issues / incompatibilities with the iPad YouTube App. So there might not be a lot we can do on our end to provide a fix unfortunately.

    Will take another look into it when we get the chance, in the meantime could you potentially try a different browser and let us know if you're still encountering issues?

    Thanks,
    Rónán

    Is it just Safari you're experiencing these issues in?

    Tried a little troubleshooting using the trailer at the end of this thread:-
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=87235937

    First off, I deleted the YouTube app, and restarted (held the home and power buttons until the apple logo appeared). Still crashed.

    Downloaded Chrome, restarted, and it still crashed.

    Deleted Chrome, downloaded the Atomic Web Browser (paid version) restarted and, guess what? It still crashed.

    I've reinstalled Youtube and am back on Safari. All were done on ios 7.04. Using the desktop version of the site.

    Which got me thinking... no issues at all watching the same vid on touch.boards.ie. Also tried the most recent vids on the Bruce Springsteen thread in Gigs & Events and all worked fine with Safari on touch.boards.ie, and all crashed with the desktop version.

    I've loaded 3 different youtube videos from that thread in Chrome / Safari on iOS 7.0.4 on both touch and desktop with no issues, it's a strange one.

    Interesting that it's working for you on touch though. Leave it with me and I'll take a look see how exactly we're serving those embeds on touch / desktop.

    Happening here too.... Ipad air on iOS 7.0.4.. Some, but not all of the videos on the "you toob" thread in the motors forum just crash safari. Videos on page 1 seem fine. Videos on last page are crashing safari. Also on chrome fwiw....most threads with embedded you tube videos seem to be crashing browser. Will continue checking.

    Cheers

    Yes but that may not be of help. It's the only browser I use on the ipad as I don't like having no favourites tab on chrome

    Deployed updates there 2 / 3 minutes ago that should hopefully resolve the issues described above. Everything seems to be working fine here on our end, but if anyone's experiencing any further issues please let us know.
