NoScript and Youtube Embeds on Xenforo

Post by stoof »

Recently a site I frequent switched to Xenforo forum software. There is some bug in which embedded Youtube videos stop the rest of the page within a thread from loading. This problem can be avoided by forbidding the site, but that also prevents a small handful of features from working.

I'm wondering if anyone here can verify whether this is a bug with NoScript and not the forum software itself. If it is in fact NoScript causing the problem, I would love to see a fix as well.

Firefox 6.0b1 and NoScript 2.1.2.1rc1 starting with default configuration I allowed googleapis.com, shoryuken.com and youtube.com and the site seemed to load and behave just fine.

/edit:
The only non-CSS-related messages concerning this site in my error console:

I'm able to duplicate this problem if I allow only shoryuken.com in addition to NoScript's default whitelist and settings.
I'm able to fix the problem only if I additionally allow the three domains listed below.
doubleclick.net
googleapis.com
complexmedianetwork.com

It's not a bug in NoScript.

stoof. could you post this fix to the Shoryuken topic where this problem is discussed?
Nevermind. I just read the whole Shoryuken topic. What a confused mess! The admin and main support person are openly hostile to NoScript and Firefox because they don't want any of their scripts to be blocked.
